Abstract
The parents' task in preventing the practice of digit sucking habit in children during night time is difficult. The present article introduces a new method called "long sleeve gown". The gown has the advantage of making it difficult for the child to get his/her hand out from the sleeve so that the child cannot suck his/her digit during sleeping.
