My boob is not a burger!
My 9 month holds my boob like its a cheeseburger. Holds, as in pinches and squeezes. Anyone have tips on stopping this madness? It's been going on for months now. We EBF and I've tried giving him other things to hold, and blocking his hands with mine. He fusses and stops eating until I move my hand.

Lol I think its cute.
My 1 week old uses it like a pillow when I try to feed her, instead of latching on she puts her cheek to it and falls asleep. |

Re: My boob is not a burger!
Sounds like it's become a habit now. You can try rubbing or stroking the back of his hand. It might make him relax his grip.

Re: My boob is not a burger!
I started to have a similiar problem with DS at around that age. I finally figured out it was because it caused my milk to flow faster. He liked a faster flow so he would squeeze the breast he was nursing on currently and he would also try to squueze the nipple on the other breast to stimulate another letdown quicker. The only thing that helped to get him to stop was to do breast compressions on myself when I noticed him going for it. Maybe that is the reason? Just a thought.

Re: My boob is not a burger!
My nine month old does it too. I'm fill of tiny scabs where her nails get me. My boobs look like a big rash. I try to stop her, but she gets mad.

Re: My boob is not a burger!
My kids did/do the cheeseburger hold too, I think it's a little funny. The pinching and other pain is not funny though. Noah was a big, big pincer and scratch-er until I got a Nourishment Necklace from Mommy Necklaces. That thing has been a sanity saver! The second I put it on it's peace for me and my poor skin.
If you're crafty I'm sure you could make your own! |
