A member asked:

My 2 year old sucks her bottom lip. how do i get her to stop? she mainly does it when shes relaxing or trying to go to sleep. her lip is swollen.

Hibit issue: This is probably more acceptable to most than sucking his thumb, eating his hair, or other self soothing behaviors. I would ignore it as the more you fuss at him about it the more he needs self soothing.
