Pinching

Howell pinches me the entire time he nurses. I get that he soothes himself running his pincer fingers together but I have little welts all over my arm. I've offered him a lovey but nothing is better than sadism apparently. Anyone experience this and successfully stop it? I don't think weaning would help because he does it when we snuggle too.

Then and now. How did my boy get so big?

    H pinches my neck and chest when we are snuggling or he is eating a bottle. I literally have red crescents all over my neck and shoulders, it looks awful, and it hurts like a mofo when he does it.

    I started putting mittens on him again. I say "no, gentle" the first time and redirect his hands, and if he does it again he gets the mittens. For some reason he doesn't pinch if he has mittens on.

    Haha. Mine look like hickies because he doesn't use his nails. Mittens are genius.

  • My kid pinches the little roll of fat near my armpit.  Lovely of him to continually point out my least favorite part of my body.  And it hurts!  He only stops if he has something better to do, like pull my hair or yank my earrings.

  • Carson is doing this too. When I nurse him now he is pinching my neck, fighting to put his fingers in my mouth or pinching my sides and belly. He will also pull my hair and slap the other breast. When I carry him somewhere he pinches my arm and bites. I think I will try the mittens! Maybe I can find a combo pack that includes a muzzle ;)
