when im breastfeeding my daughter she......?

she clutches onto the side of my breasts and squeezes the hell out of them, pinching and whatnot. and she pulls the nipple out of her mouth and grabs the tip of my nipple with her thumb and index fingers and twists it and squeezes it. and she 'bites' me (she has no teeth) and slides my nipple out slowly and painfully. when i say no in a firm voice and a straight face, she smiles and giggles at me! what do i do?? shes 7 months old.

    Don't just say 'no', you need to unlatch her and set her on the floor. End the nursing session and she will learn real fast what is and what is not allowed.

    She isn't purposely trying to hurt you, she is just exploring. If you set limits she will follow.

    i think of you're overreacting. Breastfeeding is organic...and together because it could make some human beings sense awkward, in the event that they're at your residence then you actual've the terrific to do it as you pick....and that they've the terrific to recover from it. It sounds like your bf's chum might have been in simple terms super in case you hadnt made a massive deal of it, and that i trust the different individual who asked what you will possibly have performed later in the recreation while your toddler mandatory to be nursed. Made that guy depart? Time which you will exchange into delicate with your parenting judgements...and probable to get some prepare making use of the nursing conceal.

    It's a sensory thing. If you want it to stop the remove her and she will realize playing means no breastmilk.

    No means nothing to a 7 month old. Actually any word out of your mouth doesn't mean anything. take action.

    I have a nipple twiddler.

    Now I know why I did not breastfeed. Kuddos to you for dealing with this. I wish I knew what to tell you, but I dont have experience with this. Just wanted to express sympathy. Good luck to you.

    Keep telling her know, and lightly smack her hand when she does it, (not beat her to death). She'll learn. Right now she's trying to see what she can get away with, and even though she s a baby you have to be firm and strict.
