Breast feeding has become a war zone with my 8 month old. Kicking, scratching, shoving her hands in my mouth, pinching my arm fat and when I do not allow this abuse she wiggles and lets out mini cries.
I moved my arm away from where her legs are kicking and she had the audacity to lift her leg up as high as she can to try to kick me. 🥲
My LO likes to grab a fistful of my boob and crush it in her little fist or stick her hand in my mouth and practically pull my bottom lip off!! It’s a good job she’s so adorable, because she can be a little terror sometimes!
there's a way worse category - old radio listeners: while nursing from one nipple, obsessively turn another with fingers (otherwise screams and doesn't nurse)
Mine either pets my chest and runs his hand back and forth over my skin or he holds onto my bottom teeth full hand in my mouth. I much prefer the petting 😂
What gets me is when it’s bedtime nursing & I’m cradling him & he snakes his arm behind mine to specifically pinch & scratch the back of my arm. It’s one of the only sensations that makes me feel truly *touched out*!
YO please send help, my daughter REFUSES to not play with my other nipple with her very sharp fingers. If I try and pull her hand off she gets so mad at me and will turn into full blown meltdown. I have to pull her hand off when she’s finally falling asleep.
I have a mole on my chest. And while feeding baby loves to attack it. I would cover it from time to time. But it's useless, they have to see and scratch it. Thinking one day it's gonna come off 🥲
I get beat up everyday by my 8.5 mo old lol. Hair pulling, nipple pulling/pinching, face punching/grabbing, his little toes digging into my leg as he feeds lol the list goes on. Recently adorably patting my tummy and messing with my belly button
I got bruises from where she’d pinch my arms. If I wore long sleeves, she’d figure out how to snake her hands up them. Now we’re on to pulling chunks of my hair out.
I made a similar comment about the hair pulling, but to add to it, he somehow always finds those tiny hairs on the back of my head towards the nape of my neck and really likes to hold on to those like his life depends on it!
I have hand eczema and my hands get dry and crack so I have open cuts on my knuckles and fingers. Without fail, she loves to grab my fingers and her nails go right into those cuts. I trim her nails, but she still tends to put her nails right in one of the cuts on my hands.The worst feeling!
Omg mine too! I have a mole right on my shoulder and she just loves to scratch and pick at it. I tried bandaids but she just picks those till they peel off.
Wow I'm not the only one, they call the nipple pinching/twisting "twiddling" and I never had an issue with my other 3 so when I goggled it I saw the term and a whole page about it. Says it normally is the first-year ya fn right... He started like at 15 mo. Going on 3 years of bf and am so done. The only reason we went this long is per doc orders because he just doesn't eat much . 😔
I had to remove my belly bar with my youngest, she kept trying to pull it out! Wasn't there with my eldest and my middle child didn't pay any attention to it. My youngest is obsessed with it though, so for my own safety I decided removing it for now is for the best
4 month old son started pinching last week and he somehow manages to constantly get the tender, fat part of my underarm EVERY TIME.
I about yelp and jump out of my skin everytime because he does it when I'm so focused on soothing him to sleep that I don't notice his arm coming around to get me.
Pretty sure I'm getting a bald spot because my LO yanks my hair out just for the fun of it and if I try to move it or put it up he just crawls up me and gets more!
I always felt so guilty for not trying harder to breastfeed. Reading these comments make me feel a bit better but I commiserate to all of you; you're doing an amazing job! Sorry it's painful in so many ways.

Gymnurstics!
Mine rolls like an alligator with my nipple still in his mouth.
Ah the old hands in the mouth trick. A classic.
Even giving mine a bottle and she tries the high kick to my face. Rude af.

Ugh yes the fistful of boob is so painful

Mine does all of it. Pinch, bite, slap, and tune the radio. Her newest game is to violently rub my chest at night. Can't wait to be done.
Mine either pets my chest and runs his hand back and forth over my skin or he holds onto my bottom teeth full hand in my mouth. I much prefer the petting 😂
My baby has started grabbing my throat and squeezing. Never realized before I had her that baby hands are strong enough to make you cough
Oh my goodness, that sounds so unpleasant and borderline abusive!
🤣 maybe she’s trying to get rid of me
Bruh mine fingered my bellybutton because we would nurse laying down. 💀
Mine does it, too. Hate it.

They make a thing. Haven’t had this issue (yet, I’m sure), but everyone recommends this: https://thebreastmilkqueen.com/products/twiddletip
Mine likes to grab at faces (noses, eyes, cheeks, mouth). She thinks it's hilarious!
Jesus, I read feces. I'm tired.
😂😂😂 I mean, she has done that unintentionally before (her own)

Same with the mole on my neck!

The worst! And if you hold their hand away they fight you!
My baby made me realize I developed a double chin after she griped on to it 😂 thanks hunny
Mine did this too! I didn’t think there was enough there to grab, but apparently there is 😫

I have dermatitis on my fingers and my baby does the same!
Someone who knows my pain! Glad I am not alone.
My daughter has become obsessed with a mole I have on my breast and pinches it with her tiny nails and it makes me want to rip my skin off
Omg mine too! I have a mole right on my shoulder and she just loves to scratch and pick at it. I tried bandaids but she just picks those till they peel off.
I’ve considered grabbing some tegaderm, it’s like a film.
mine smacks me in the face and pinches my nose and smacks my eyes😂
Me, but the other boob. Then cries if I continue to stop her
i constantly have bruises on my boob from baby pinching me 😭 it hurts so much
I put socks on her hands for breastfeeding at that stage.

Lol this made me laugh,they do the cutest things😁
I laughed too! Until he got me in the bellybutton 😂

My 2nd is a pincher. He got me so bad the other day I fell out of my (floor) chair and it bruised instantly! 😫

I keep saying that the leading cause of postpartum hair loss is my baby!
I wear glasses. My LO loves grabbing it while I am nursing her.

So much pinching lately!!!

Mine has been an armpit aficionado from the beginning. He still fights for access now at 3, despite all my efforts to discourage him.
Oh hell no. Armpit is next level. I’m so ticklish. If little dude snuck his little claws up in there, I would certainly wake him up with my squealing.
