Extreme nursing

Jazzym12Jazzym12 member
in October 2011 Moms

Anyone else have a lo who has decided to make nursing into an Olympic sport? I'm finding it harder and harder to nurse because E attaches and then attempts to sit up, roll over, throw herself backwards or pretty much anything that looks like fun.  If I pull her away from the boob she has a complete meltdown.. I would use a bottle but E thinks that is some kind of joke and will chuck it at you. Any suggestions on nursing a baby who can't sit still?

    No suggestions, but glad to hear Lily isn't the only one doing this!  DH and I were laughing at her earlier.  She started nursing lying down as usual, but then decided to sit up.  That's usually the sign that she's done, but she lunged for boob and kept nursing sitting up.  She still wanted her head lying horizontal, though, so she was contorting into strange positions.

    Same here!!! Oh man Izzy has been nuts lately.  She has to practice sitting up every nursing session now...she rolls, sticks her booty in the air..contorts and tries to eat that way.  Sorry, I have no suggestions, just commiserating with you.

    YEEEP!  I used to be able to nurse Carson on the go, in the car while running errands.  Yea right!  I tried that today, and he was sitting up, grabbing for things while my boob and nipple are flyin'.  Very descreet, Carson.

    The only time that I can get him to sit still and concentrate is in the dark in his room, and even then it isn't guaranteed.

    Yep.  He's all over the place or at least popping off every two seconds to look around and check everything out.  He also grabs at anything and everything while nursing- my kindle, glass of water, food, my hair, my earrings, etc.  Oh, and my favorite?  He repeatedly snaps my bra/tank strap.  Angry

    Oh, and remember how we had a post before about babies slapping while nursing?  Anyone else's baby slap with their feet?  Lily likes to lift her leg up and kick me in the chest repeatedly while she's nursing.  She often tries to use her feet as hands, but this one is extra weird.

    Caleb kicks constantly while nursing.  If I'm up against anything (like the arm of the couch) he kicks and pushes against it so that he thrusts his whole body forward while still attached to my nipple.  Tons of fun.  If I give him more room he just kicks me.  Hmm

    I feel like he's losing interest in nursing and not taking as much milk, but in reality I think it's just a distraction thing.

    Nursing discretely with a cover is not happening here anymore. Oh and I wish E would just snap my shirt! She decided that grabbing my free nipple and twisting is a better use of her time then messing with my straps now. MH just laughs and I just get frustrated.

    I found that if I wear a really big necklace DS just plays with that and concentrates on nursing.

    Lily likes to pull on necklaces.  Hard.  So unless I want her to break all my necklaces, I don't think I should give this approach a try.

    I'm with LCass, I tried wearing a nursing necklace and he pulled so hard it was hurting me.  No go there.

    Same here... The last time I tried to nurse L with a cover I spent more time holding the cover over my boob than having L actually nurse. She was getting a kick out of it and thought it was a game!

    I'm glad L isn't the only one trying out for the US (or Canadian) gymnastics team haha

    I don't nurse anymore, but we have extreme diaper changing.  Today, I had to change a very poopy diaper in the bathroom of a sushi restaurant while she was in the standing position because she refused to lay down and was howling the entire time.  When I came out of the bathroom, I looked at my friend and said, "could you hear us?"  She was like, "uuuh, yeah".

    She has been flipping herself over on her changing table for months.  So not fun!

    it's been a constant issue for us, too. you could try a cup instead of a bottle! We wanted to give DD some pedialyte because she had a fever. She wouldn't take it from the bottle but did ok with the cup. 

    but yeah, nursing is a feat these days. It has calmed down just a bit, but now that i"ve typed that it'll get worse.
