The dummy is out of favour

[BabyBrain]

And is being replaced with his hands! It's a sensory thing isn't it? He's found out that those things that smack him in the eye every so often actually belong to him? He's trying desperately to suck his thumb too, which I really don't want long term, I can wean him off dummies, I can't cut his thumbs off lol. He's really ramming his fists into his mouth and everything including Daddy is getting covered in dribble!

All babies suck their hands/thumbs not all babies become thumb suckers. No matter how many dummies you give them they'll soon learn to take it out and replace with a thumb if they are going to. My friend told me the more you fuss the more likely it is to stick.
