I may be a freak, but I don't see what's wrong with a baby or a toddler using a pacifier or sucking her thumb as much as she wants. I get the feeling many parents see it as a bad thing. The whyfor has never been clear to me.
Franny used her pacifier way more a couple months ago. These days she isn't really interested. She'd rather suck on fingers, either hers or mine. She uses the paci as a chew toy instead, pulls it out and puts the side in her mouth (it's soft and pliable.) I'm guessing she'll wean herself entierly long before it would occur to me to try to wean her.
