Caden has always sucked on his middle and ring fingers on his left hand since he was a baby. He used to suck on them all the time but now he mostly only does it while he is in bed going to sleep, but since he is about to turn three, we decided it was time for him to stop. It is not as easy as taking away a paci would be! :/ Out of the couple different things that we have tried, this one seems to work the best so far.
Yes, we had to tape gloves onto his hands! Even though he only sucks the fingers on the one hand, we tape them both because he would use his other hand and pick at his lip (sometimes making it bleed). Sometimes he somehow gets the tape and gloves off but most of the time he keeps them on. Hopefully this method will work (although I'm not sure how long it's going to take)!

How's it coming?
Doing better at not trying to take the gloves off...but still needing them, I think it will take awhile.
