    Posted: 25 October 2007 at 5:58pm
I have a 16 month old son who sucks his thumb. We don't have an issue with the thumb sucking, but his thumb is now red & raw. Does anyone know if there is anything (cream etc) that we can use on his thumb to help heal it, or prevent it getting worse?

Any advice greatly appreciated

You could maybe try lasinoh (sp?) the lanolin cream. Is good for sore nipples and will be safe for him to suck.

You might be able to put a sticky plaster on it and see what he does. He probably won't like the taste, whether he figures out how to take the plaster off or not will be interesting. If he doesn't, he'll likely switch to another finger for a little while until the thumb heals.

addison gets red raw thumbs but just switches to the other for a couple of days so maybe he will to if it starts hurting him.

lol Peace!

Thanks for the advice ladies, I'll get some lasinol cream and see if that helps. He doesn't seem bothered by it at all (yet), it just looks horrible!
