Does your bfing baby/toddler do this too?

[Kmn]

Yep - including going to try and find it and pulling my hand away if I cover it up.

Lachlan shoves hi shand down my top , but he doesnt play with my breasts he is more interested in flinging my bra strap.
Oh and yes he does sometimes slap the boob he is feeding from

DS will BF while playing with the other nipple and I generally end up stopping him as he starts pinching and it hurts, otherwise he will have hand in clevage or just rubbing other boob.

Riley still likes to put his hand down my top and just pat my boob or gently stroke it, I think its a comfort thing. A little boy at school last year (6 yr old) was standing patting my boobs I stopped him pretty quickly though!! (it wasn't in a sexual way but there are limits!)

DS still sticks his hand down my top between my boobs as a comfort thing. I don't think it is unusual - the breasts are comforting. As an ample busted woman, many babies settle beautifully on my *cushions* - that's their job

Same here!

I was talking to a close family friend (male) the other day and holding DS1 who had his hands down my top squeezing 'his' boobies (he is still feeding)...the friend just let out a longing sigh and asked 'why is it that these boys are allowed to grab them whenever THEY want?' His wife (one of my best friends) is still b'feeding their 15 mo DS so I'm sure he was talking about hers and not mine!!

Nipple tweaking I CANNOT handle though. Thankfully none of mine have done that so far.

DS finished BF'ing about 3 months ago (although he has tried to latch on again a couple of times since) and he still pokes and grabs my boobs. Particularly after we've had a shower, I dry him off first so he doesn't get cold and he will reach out and tweak my nipples. DH is teaching him to say "boobies" Sometimes, when I am giving him a cuddle to go to sleep he'll stick his hand down my top. I think it's a comfort thing.

i think babies and toddlers are naturally curious about their world.

anything in reach, they will play with - including breasts, whilst bf-ing.

sounds entirely normal to me Leesha.

the older my child got, i started wearing bf-ing tops, which means, now when we feed (she's just about to turn three), much less of me is exposed, so there is less temptation for her to play with the breast that is not being suckled at the time.

in our first year, i wore singlet maternity tops and lots of me was exposed when i bf her, so she had heaps to "play" with.

I find it annoying sometimes.

[Traveller]

Ach I hated when my twins did this, I actually resorted to tandem feeding them so the other breast was out of reach. It is just a natural reflex to stimulate let down though, but that doesn't change the fact it hurts!
