My DD 16 months sucks on her muslin blanket has done since she was about 6 months old.
I am sure its making her have an overbite and I am considering ditching the blanket but its her comfort and she loves it, and it really helps if she is upset too as well as a cuddle from Mummy. Plus I have just starting working for myself so she is with one of her Nanas on somedays and I would hate for her not to have her blankie. Note she only has 4 top teeth and 1 bottom tooth at the moment.
Has/does anyone's child have a blankie that they suck on and in turn noticed problems with their teeth. What did you do?
Hi Aimee, didn't want to read and run. Rhys still has his dummy (bad mummy, I know ), but it hasn't caused any problems and he has 12 teeth in total. I've read that having a dummy up to the age of 2 doesn't cause any problems, so I couldn't imagine Heidi's blankie would either.
