Does your baby do this?


Kaitlin'smom wrote: I was just wondering if anyone else's BF baby does this. Kaitlin will nurse great then when she is about done sometimes she will stop unlatch and pinch me (yes the nipple) and then latch back on. I dunno why, maybe she is checking to see if there is more? She has only done this a couple times and so far only at home. Should I let her do this on the occasion or should I make her stop?

Sorry, didn't mean to laugh. I can just picture her doing that to check for more milk...LOL.

Ashley has never done that, but she does pinch sometimes while she is nursing (obviously not my nipple). She has tried to play a couple of times when she was done nursing, but I didn't let her. I wanted her know that was for nursing only.

So, I don't know if you should let her continue or not? Sorry, I wasn't more help.

DansMom replied:
Daniel's a pincher too! He seems to do this once he's just about finished with his meal, just like Kaitlin. I think it's a new-found fascination with his food-source, in the same way that he's very interested in the spoon that delivers his solids.

In general I let him examine as much as he likes, but once those eager little pinchers come out I pack up the equipment. He pinches pretty hard, and hasn't learned to be easy on me (or the cats). It's probably good to let them know, as with biting, that it hurts Mommy and they should do something different. biggrin.gif

supermom replied: Yes, I would have to say that it would depend on how comfortable you are with her continuing to do it, and if she would happen to do it in public. If you don't want her to do that, let her know (it's never too early). If you're comfortable with it, then ???? - it may eventually hurt worse as she gets older and gets more "muscle" behind it!

Kaitlin'smom replied:
Ahh dont worry I found it funny the first time to.... could not help but laugh it tickled then course she smile and laughed.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
I does not bother me, does not hurt its very soft and gentil the way she does it. I think she is just courious, and like I said she has only done this a couple times, but if it becomes more habit I will have to make her stop.

5littleladies replied: Brianna doesn't pinch-When she is done she bites down on my nipple. Ouch!!!!! ohmy.gif

Schnoogly replied: I get pinched and grabbed constantly and he pinches hard and it HURTS! He pinches the same nipple he's latched onto. He really digs his nails in. He does this with bottles too. I don't know why. I have a nursing necklace that sometimes occupies him and I try to hold his hands, but sometimes I yell out in pain and it scares him. I don't know how to make him stop! My nipples are scarred.

MamaMartie replied: Hannah has started poking and prodding at my breasts. I think she is finially understanding that they have a function...and they are all hers. She has made a grab from my nipples a couple times as she finished feeding. I kind of discourage that b.c while it doesn't hurt now, I am sure it will eventually. Besides they aren't knobs to be fooled with rolling_smile.gif

It is really cute to see her face when she sees my breasts come out from my shirt when she is hungry. She gets all excited and kicks and squirms. It is funny to watch, and it makes me feel good. Like she knows Mommy is doing something good for her. wub.gif

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I didn't bf long enough to enjoy the sensations of my nipples being tortured by little sticky fingers!

Jamison'smama replied: --I thought Jamison was the only one smile.gif After she has finishes her meal--especially during the quiet feedings---early morning and before bed she likes to examine me--she pinches etc. doesn't hurt unless I have not cut her nails ---but that exploring can be a problem in public For the most part it doesn't bother me too much but I doubt I will let it continue for too long. Just exploring and learning for now.

paradisemommy replied: Taven is a pincher - he'll pinch the opposite breast he is feeding from and he pinches hard...then when he is full he'll play/pinch the nipple he is on.. tongue.gif it makes me laugh but at the same time it hurts!!! dry.gif
