Mavala Stop - Day 1

All three of our children have enjoyed sucking on something. A couple years ago we convinced Joseph to give up the habit and to our surprise, he did. However, our girls have so far thwarted all of our attempts to break their sucking habits.

Today, we got a product called Mavala Stop to take it to the next level. Simply apply it on their finger nails and let it dry. When the kids taste the bad taste, they are supposed to be deterred.

Audrey naturally instantly tasted her thumb and laughed, "it tasted like medicine!" We'll see how it goes and I'll try to remember to update the blog.

20 December update:

So far so good.  The girls have not sucked their fingers since the treatment as best I can figure.   I even had to trim Katelyn's fingernails.  She had previously told me her nails don't grow.  :)
