Hello, U can apply Liquid Femite to her thumb to prevent her from sucking thumb. Its bitter taste will dicourage her from doing so. Thumb sucking has nothing to do with her not gaining weight. Pl. Mention her current wt. & birth wt.

Suckiing thumb abd weight loss are not related and this habit will go away as she grows up. You try putting a thimble over the finger and see if it distracts her.
