Leave him alone, that’s his security…I know first hand what my mother did to me…
my mother used hot sauce, I do not recommend this! good luck
I sucked my fingers until I was 22:rofl:
When I got pregnant at 22 I just stopped without ever looking back!
I sucked my thumb til I was 11… no one died. My friends that didn’t suck their thumbs still had braces like me. 
He will stop when he’s ready,
He will grow out of it
I sucked my thumb till I was 13yrs old I just quit on my own.
He’ll outgrow it! Just let him be him!
Old school method, dash of hot sauce.

Cut off his thumbs and throw them into an incinerator. Throwing them in the trash is useless. He could dig them out and continue sucking them.
Cut his thumb off!!! Kidding of course!. Give him a carrot to chew on.
Worry about it at 5 yes
Good luck I didnt stop till I was 19
Tell them get your hands out of your mouth and smack their hand out of their mouth 
Nail biting products should help
Rub garlic on his finger.
What about the gross nail polish for nail biting
I did it till I was like 5
Rub Garlic on the finger …
I did it when I was tired
We put dish soap on the thumb and fingers, stopped really quickly
My orthodontist gave my parents this nasty tasting stuff to put on my thumb
How about lemon juice, it’s bitter
Mustard just a small bit
Hot sauce on the thumb
My mother tried everything, after she took the bottle away too early in went my thumb, hot sauce, nail polish, socks, beatings for doing so didn’t stop me. I’m 28 I’ve tried many methods, usually only do it now if I’m nervous or when I need to sleep 🤷 my teeth look fine, I do have a permanent mark on my thumb but meh, child will just replace the habit sometimes with something worse, some kids grow out of it on their own and others’ don’t . I’m sure you have some unpleasant habits that your parents tried to break. You can maybe try to see if he will suck on the corner of a blanket?

Try vinegar on it …
make him pay for the bill when he ends up needing braces cause the thumb will push the teeth and he will get buck teeth
They have stuff you can put on his thumb that has a gross bitter taste to it and lasts awhile. Looks a bit like clear nail polish. Worked for my son

Black shoe polish…
I bought this for my son. I haven’t tried it yet since I don’t want him to get the chemicals in his mouth but I’m out of options. A lot of the reviews were moms who’ve tried it on their child and it worked. 
A lot of my patients have had success with this.
Try this i haven’t yet but theirs good reviews
My daughter didn’t stop till she was 12. In the few failed attempts I made to get her to stop I realized I was torturing her and it’s not worth it. Her dumb was sore a few times in those yrs but she’s fine. And there’s always braces for the teeth
I sucked my thumb for a very long time. no teeth probs
We used ThumbGuard Australia - worked amazingly.

My husband and I got separated when i found out he was having an affair with another woman, when i confronted him, we had argument and he broke up with me, i tried all i could to get him back but all to no avail. I cried all day and helpless looking up to God to help me with the problem in my marriage. All I need is my marriage to be restored back, we’ve been together for years and he has done nothing but cheated and lied to me. but I know it’s something that can be fixed I still love him the same way when I first met him. However I decided to seek help from Priest Andrew, he reunited my marriage back together as it was in the beginning. now my marriage is perfectly fine and I know there are lot of people out there who have different kind of problem in home, marriages and relationships. Here is Priest Andrew email: priestandrewcureservice123@gmail. Com

Let it be his comfort
Give him a pacifier better for teeth
Also to add my cousin who’s in his 40s I’m sure still does this when he goes to bed. Totally normal dude just never gave it up. He’d babysit when we were kids and he’d always fall asleep sucking his thumb. Thought it was the funniest shit ever.
Talk to your pediatrician.

Talk to your dentist.
Hot sauce doesn’t work. Unfortunately, I know this becayse my parents tried with me. I sucked my thumb till I was twelve. Sad, I know. They tried EVERYTHING. And the one day. … my step-mom gave me a hundred dollar bill if I stopped right then. And I did. My whole point being. . . Good luck with that.
Put bandaids on his thumbs
My daughter is 3yrs old and still sucks her thumb
I know a lady in her 40s who still sucks her thumb when she is tired so think you need to stress him less about it. And wait to see what happens.
When my daughter was 7 she still sucked her thumb. We went to the orthodontist, who was wonderful. He gave her a chart and every day she went without sucking her thumb, I put a sticker on that day. After a month, she would receive a trophy from him. She did it…never missed 1 day! She was ready to stop…just needed the right positive motivation! And she wanted that trophy!!
He will stop on his own don’t worry about it my sister did for years and my daughter still when nervous and is 17
I sucked my thumb till i was 8 every night my dad would this stuff on called stop it for thumb sucking it tassted horrible n couldnt get the taste out …i def wouldnt reccomend that for a 1 yr old never had teeth issues no braces nothing. With him being so little try a fabric bandaid they hold better see if that will keep him from putting his thumb in his mouth
My 2 year old still sucks his thumb nothing works lol. The only thing you can do is redirect him
My daughter sucked her thumb till she was 7 but her teeth were jacked up (baby teeth) by the time the new ones came in she had stopped.
I didn’t do it but some say rub lemon and when they suck it it’ll be sour. But I didn’t get this piece of advice till much later hahaha
He is STILL a baby
Omg its a total comfort thing. If he had a Pacificer im sure he would suck on that too
Some kids humm, rock, rub their ears or play with their hair, rub their fave blanket whatever
Just give it time he still is so little
If he was 3 or 4 and still doing this then yes
But remember babies like him are still breastfeeding or on the bottle
Its a comfort thing of sucking
Watch what he does and when
U might find only certain times of the day or whatever
Then have that time to be close to him
Or try a snack
There use to be something you could paint on their thumbs that would discourage sucking and also biting finger nails try looking on the internet
We had to get a mouth rake when my daughter was almost 9.
Stick ice cream sticks with tape on his thumb
He will stop himself. Pick your battles.
Mavala stop it took 3 days with my daughter
Try hot sauce,worked on my kids
My daughter had a dummy to suck on the minute she was born,
She was a Colic baby and would scream for at least two hours before she would calm down,so I let her have as much comfort as she wants,
When she was 3 she wrapped up her dummy and put it on the table by the Xmas tree,along with Santa’s glass of milk and cookies,and said I’m giving my dummy to Santa,coz I’m getting a big girl now,
Then that night she was crying for it,(and the worst thing any mother could have said)I said suck your thumb,or u can have your dummy back, Santa won’t be mad at you for having it back,no mummy I really have to give it up,I just suck my thumb until the morning and may be you can buy me a new one tomorrow 
,kids ha!, now she is 25 and still sucks her thumb, and it has effected the way her teeth has grown, and her thumb is very small compared to the other one,it was a big problem with her to stop, and believe me we have tried everything to stop her, nothing worked,
My son on the other hand, didn’t give his dummy up until he was 12 just before he stared secondary school, from the age of 5 he had it in his mouth all the time, the amount of dummy’s we would go through would be unreal, after the age of 5 he would only be sucking on it when he was settled whatching TV and at bedtime, this continued right up until he was 12,and just like that he threw them away, but it never affected the way his teeth had grown,much to our surprise,he as never gone back to it,but he was always curling his hair, he’s 23 now and still curl’s his hair to this day, but I’m so proud of them my son is a chief, and my daughter is as health care support worker at a nursing home,they are both still unmarried,son in a near 3 year relationship, daughter was in a long relationship that just grew apart she has only moved out from home before the pandemic happened, which was just as well with my health problems, yeah no grandkids yet, thank God, not ready for them yet, but they are very happy and healthy and they had it tough trying to deal with my health problems,but then it gave my daughter a good job in health care and support, she was always a very caring person and always fussed over me from the age of 12 on ward’s,my son just couldn’t cope seeing me in pain,he would always be out playing with his mate’s,he was three years younger than my daughter, but he loved cooking and baking (with my supervision) so that was our bonding time together,he was always in the kitchen,yet my daughter hates any kitchen choirs, so very difficult,so sorry for rambling on
