breastfeeding question?

hi ladies! my almost 10 month old daughter likes to double breasting? when i expose both breasts, she switches fron breast to breast a lot. and/or she grabs the opposite breast and pets it and grabs the nipple and rolls it between her fingers. any of you have your baby do this?

    Totally normal for age. If it bothers you, here is info on adjusting the behavior. http://kellymom.com/ages/older-infant/nursing-mann... Some moms don't seem to mind, for me, it drove me nuts. :) I managed to get both kids to stop doing it & they both nursed well into toddler years.

    Thats normal. They suggest to breastfeed 10 to 20 minutes each breast.
