I think they are just "self-soothing". Not much you can do either one. Try not to worry, sucking their thumb really dosen't cause all the problems you hear of, many are old wives tales.

Sucking their thumb is worse. They can get teased as they get older by other kids cus they can see it and it also causes teeth problems(which I'm dealing with now with my 8 yr old). Tongue I think is no big deal.

Definitely sucking their tongue.

Thumb - if it goes on too long (past 1 year), it's very bad for the teeth.

Neither, both are reflexes...however neither should go on past the age of 1 - 2 at the VERY latest. Then it becomes a habbit.
