And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

Actually, that's not true.

See, there are a couple of issues at work here. There's the constant sucking motion thought to cause over-bites, etc. But thumb-sucking is actually worse (since the thumb cannot be thrown away and there is slight counter-pressure). Then there is the issue of the excess saliva that the endless sucking creates and if the teeth are not cleaned properly, it's just a night-long breeding ground of bacteria.
I think it's tough on parents these days...almost like we know TOO much. I mean, just 20 years ago, baby teeth were supposed to just rot and fall out, right? Or, teeth didn't get brushed till the baby could do it him/herself.
Sometimes you want to forget science and take a break. Don't beat yourself up.

Best to not allow the baby to fall asleep at the breast or with a bottle, but we all know that!

How exactly can someone be *too-Christian*?

I think she meant for you to cut and paste where she is going to keep an open mind for future debates?
