What's the Daughter-In-Law of a Dentist to do?


There's no two ways around it: Sean has become a thumb-sucker. We are informed that this is not a good habit for the development of his little mouth, teeth, and nasal passages, but I dont know how to stop it!
What you don't see in this picture is his discarded paci, spit out in disgust in favor of the familiar thumb.
We have been trying (inconsistently) hand socks for bed time, but I think that has been the source of some of the middle of the night crying -- SB can't find his thumb to put himself back to sleep.
How are we to teach Sean how to soothe himself back to sleep while trying to break this little habit early on? Any ideas?
