Toddler Manhandling Breasts
Stephanie and Tim wrote:
Honestly, I cannot understand this, though it has little to no bearing on helping the OP with the dilemma. Why would you let your child twiddle your nipple if you do not want her to? It can be a really, really difficult habit to break. I am *still* stopping DS from doing it, six months after he started up. He's very determined, has really strong little fingers, and often gets upset when I stop him. I can easily understand how you get tired of the battle and just say "fine, do what you want this once, I'm sick of fighting you." -- iphigenia, who often nurses with a hand over the other breast to prevent access... www.tristyn.net |

Toddler Manhandling Breasts
I also have this problem. Mine stems from the fact that I rarely rarely
wear a bra around the house so the things are just hanging out there when she nurses!! Others may not agree with my solution, but what works for me is to teach her that touching is OK but it must be GENTLE. She has learned "gentle" from petting the dogs and other children so I just applied it to the nipple twiddling too. It took a few times but I just gently took her hand away and showed her what "gentle" is and she happily complied. It took no tears, no taking away the nummies and everyone's happy. She actually rarely does it anymore anyway. I put lots of other stuff in the area for her to play with - current favorite is my long hair which is often tied back, but I put it forward as a treat. I have a long necklace and also I stroke her hands too which she likes. The twiddling itself didn't bother me it was the "manhandling" as you describe that I wasn't comfortable with. She is now pretty compliant at 17 months, and does understand what I mean when I say that {whatever] hurts mummy. So (hopefully) it won't be an issue for you guys much longer! Good luck! CY "Sarah" wrote in message om... Hello, I have a weird question here. I have a 14 month old, who is still nursing every 1-2 hours during day, and every 4-5 hours during night. No problems, except for one annoying thing: He LOVES to fiddle with my nipples--(I jokingly call it "Twizzling my Nizzles", in reference to current urban slang)constantly and pretty aggressively. I often try to stop him but he whimpers and gets really upset. I have necklaces I wear, or I hold his wandering hands, or I keep the bra on and shirt down on the side that's not being nursed, but he'll often just railroad right through and find my nipple and start fiddling, rolling, pinching, pulling, flicking, picking, and poking. What's a girl to do, especially since he loves doing it so much, and really gets upset if I try to stop him? Your experience is appreciated! (especially in case I might be getting pregnant again soon and not sure if I can take it with more sensitive nipples!) Thanks, Sarah |
