Thumb Sucking

Thumb Sucking

Thumb sucking is a behavior that can be grouped under a list of habits known as non–nutritive sucking habits. Within this group, we can also find the use of pacifiers, blankets, or sucking on other fingers as a comforting behavior. Thumb-sucking has been considered an activity that serves as an adaptive function by providing stimulation or self-soothing. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of thumb sucking and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in managing patients with this condition.
