Bad BFing habits...

trevess

So, Hayden has a new favorite thing to do when she is bored on the boob...she likes to pull back as far as possible while placing her free hand on me to help push herself.  Um, it HURTS!

She does it towards the end of feedings when she is starting her "play on the boob" time.  Sometimes I just end the feeding then & there, but I hate to ever be the one who's ending the feeding even if it does seem like she's entered play mode. 

Any words of wisdom?

I have no advice, but I wanted to tell you Mari does something similar now...  Only she turns her head into the pillow quick and hard and takes my nipple with her... Yaoooow!!!

If you figure something out, please let me know, lol.

Ugh, Kellen has been doing the same thing.  I'm tired of my nips being pulled and tugged on like that!  I don't know how to stop him though, other than stopping the feeding, which makes me feel bad.

Ouch. Reese just started taking her head & shaking it rapidly from left to right while she is latched. I'm hoping someone can chime in with a way to stop these painful habits!

Gavin does that too!  I don't know what the solution is but I feel your pain!

Briley too - I don't know what to do about it though!

yup...same issue here. He definitely likes to play around and use me as a human pacifier. Don't they realize its already painful enough as it is! No need to hurt me more!

Quinn does the head shaking thing too! Maybe it's a newborn thing?
