Finding his Fingers
Right from when he was tiny, Noah looked like he might be a thumb or finger sucker. He has tried and tried to get those fingers into his mouth and has repeatedly rejected the dummy. I have stopped offering him one now as he doesn't particularly need it - he is a much less 'sucky' baby than my other two were, I could not have survived without a dummy with either of those two. However, he has continued to try and get his fingers into his mouth and in the last week, has started having some success.
It's still very hit and miss so I'm not sure yet whether he will end up sucking his thumb or fingers. But it's great when he manages to soothe himself to sleep.

Bless him. So sweet. My last 3 all found theirs thumbs.
I remember when Littler finally found her fingers - made a HUGE difference (and at 2 she's still addicted to them - oops)
Clever little thing
@Vicky - My other two never even tried with fingers, but it obvious so early on that Noah was at least going to attempt it! He's still only doing it a little, but it really does soothe him when he does.
@Muddlingalongmummy - I'm hoping he'll get better at it now as it does seem to soothe him. And both my others had dummies until they were 3 and a half...big oops...
