Soothing by Sucking
March 6, 2007 1:17 pm GeneralWe gave Sam a pacifier for the first time about 2 weeks ago and his reaction was so funny. His eyes got so big and his brow furrowed, as he tried to figure out what it was. He was sucking on the pacifier so hard that it would fly out of his mouth.
Sam has recently started sucking on his thumb. Sometimes he tries to put his whole fist in his mouth, if he can’t find his thumb. Both the pacifier and his thumb really calm him down when fussy.
