Why it happens
Toddlers suck their thumbs because it's comforting and calming. Your toddler probably practiced this habit while he was still in the womb and perfected it as an infant. Now he may turn to his thumb when he's tired, scared, bored, sick, or trying to adjust to challenges such as starting preschool or going on a long car ride. He may also use his thumb to fall asleep at bedtime and to lull himself back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night

So at this moment we will not stop her from sucking thumb! Hmm actually is we cannot stop her.
Anyway but we will try to limit her sucking only when she is tired. Hopefully is easier to kick this habbit when she is older!
