Jude never liked the pacifier. I could get him to take it maybe 15% of the times I offered it. I finally just stopped offering it. I cannot remember the last time he even had a pacifier. It has been at least two months or more. I am glad he never got hooked on it. Besides, once he got over his colic, he hardly ever needed it. If he was crying it was because he was hungry, tired or needed his diaper changed. If those three things are taking care of, he was/is a happy boy.
From very early on, I noticed that Jude was sucking/chewing on his thumb and hand. He never became a full blown thumb-sucking, but he still did it occasionally. Well, now I think he has taken it up a notch and has officially become a thumb sucker! I started noticing his thumb in his mouth a lot more often about 2 months ago when we was teething. I just figured it was because he was teething. Ever since then, his thumb is in his mouth more and more. It is now quite common to find him sucking or chewing on his thumb.
It is quite cute to see, I just hope it does not become a bad habit we have to brake a few years down the road.
