someone explained it to me as experts working their machines. Like they're trying to get out the last drops so the extra stimulation helps IYKWIM?....dunno how true it is....we shake the sauce bottle to get the last bits out...
My DD2 did the pinching, punching, slapping thing too so it's not just a boy thing. However, she seems to have grown out of it now - thankfully - but it nearly ended her BF journey at 8 or 9 months as it was soooo painful.
The BF necklace is a good idea. I also found with DD2 that she did it when she wasn't actually that hungry so I stretched her feeds out a bit longer and she started to feed much better with less pinching, but she was a bit older than your DS.
I also have a mole in the centre of my chest and its right where she can see it... so when she is not twisting the boob in funny directions then she is trying to pull that off and it really hurts! They have all done it but Mr S gave it the best go and half ripped it off. I have been wanting to get it removed but never go the time.. Maybe the necklace will be a good alternative. Thanks again Ladies!
I'm not sure if you want to hear this, but my 16 month is STILL doing this - it's been over a year since he started it! I also hold his hand and encourage him to wrap his fingers around my thumb instead and this often works. I actually have limited feeling in my breasts now - the pinching doesn't bother me so much until he hits a spot he hasn't pinched before and then it hurts!! He used to grab handfuls of my breast skin and use it to pull me closer to him like my skin was fabric!!
Try the distraction with the hand holding and see if that makes a difference Good Luck!
