It's a miracle!



In previous posts, I've expressed my frustration with my four-year-old's consistent thumb sucking. Well, at long last, it has stopped, thanks in no part to her willpower or determination. Our pediatric dentist, Dr. Josh Wren, suggested I order some Mavala Stop online and I'm telling you, it has worked like a charm. At first, it was rough, because she would get tired and not know how to soothe herself, but now, she's not a thumbsucker!

Mavala stop has all kinds of chemicals in it...I would not reccommend it for a child...particularly not thumb suckers.

How long did it take?

She only tasted it once and never put that thumb back in her mouth. The first week was rough, but it was well worth it. I'm not too worried about the chemicals because it's not like she's sucking them off of her thumb. She just knows the bitter taste is on there, so she doesn't stick her thumb in her mouth. It was amazing!
