Amazing and nice to read about this journey for you all. My daughter was also a thumb sucker until 9 years and only when she too had her Lovey – a penguin soft toy. She ended up stopping because we misplaced in a house move! She cried for 1-2 nights because no one could remember who packed or lost the toy. We later found it by accident after 9 months and now sits on her shelf with many funny stories, including when she couldn’t do a sleepovers at her grandparents if she didn’t have it because she needed it with her thumb sucking.

She is not 7. Her ninth birthday is coming in about one week.

Please stop. You don’t know Marlowe or Eva, nor what’s best for them and their family. The mom-shaming and judgment from afar is exhausting.

Tell Marlowe I am sooo proud of her!! I was a thumb sucker until I was 13. My lovey was a blue blanket. One day I said enough and took my lovey to the dumpster. I cried for weeks, but never sucked my thumb again.

Thank you for sharing! My 3 year old daughter and I have been discussing her thumb sucking and when she’d like to quit. It’s nice to hear about other fellow thumbsuckers. I think she will enjoy hearing about Marlowe and how she stopped.

Lowie,
Sweet girl you are inspiring. Giving up something like that is really hard and trying to find a new way to do something isn’t easy either. You are such a strong girl with so much heart. I can see that in just the bits your Mama shares with us all. Making big decisions like these are never going to be easy and you did it in your own time and your own way.
Lots of love kiddo!!!!

This feels like a super private, intimate part of Marlow’s life and I really hope you realize that, even though you asked her permission this time to share the weaning experience, that you didn’t ask her the first time, nor could she really reply at that time since she was not aware of the ramifications of sharing such a thing online (whether she’s aware now as a 7-year old is also debatable).
