I love it!! So cute!!! I let her put her fingers in my mouth and sometimes I'll bite down gently to try to keep them there (doesn't really work). I do quite like using a Mommy Necklace, too, but I don't always remember to wear it or want to have it on (like in bed). .-= Ceri´s last blog ..Wow! =-.

Aw, man! This drives me crazy. I’m tandeming my 3y7m & 18 mo and I’m 22w pg. I’ve always covered, redirected & kissed away the nipple twiddling. But, the hands are all over the place from my hair, ears, armpits, belly. Ack! My older nursling has chilled out on it because he’s mellow, but my 18mo is tenacious. He even digs toes into my belly button or down my pants to snap my waste band while I’m redirecting his hands. It’s like nursing an octopus baby. I’ve given up on him stopping, and just try to remember that I’d rather have this issue for a few years than something else he’d be getting busy hands & feet into if we weren’t nursing.

I had a crazy letdown reflex and often leaked from the other side, so up until recently, I've always been pressing on my other nipple during nursings to prevent spillage! Thus, my daughter doesn't twiddle, because the other breast is always covered by my hand. She does, though, enjoy sticking her fingers up my nose, in my mouth or eye, etc. .-= Kim´s last blog ..I’m officially a tandem nurser! =-.

Thank God my daughter never grabbed my other nipple. However, she would find any little mole or skin tag that she could reach and pick or rub at it. I especially found it irritating when I was tired. .-= georgine´s last blog ..New Pics of Charlie =-.
