Hi everyone, I starting using a high chair rather than her bouncy chair and the thumb sucking is better, I think because it's harder for her to sit up in the high chair and suck her thumb. She still does it but not as much - and she wolfs down whatever is on offer!
Thanks for all your help and advice, they sure do keep you on your toes!

My DD also started doing this recently once in a while and it seems to coincide with being tired (even though I feed way before nap time) and/or her teeth bugging her. I totally see it as a comfort thing too.
