Someone tell me this is a phase! :help: Camden has started (well, it's going on about a month now) tugging on my nipple when he nurses. He pulls his head back and takes my boob with him...and the wiggling...oh my! I think by the time we're finished, my boobs will stretch to Texas. Easily. (All kidding aside, I'm really not at all concerned about the cosmetic after affects of nursing - IF there even are any, but....this is driving me a bit bonkers comfort-wise!)

I tried kind of holding his head in to me - gently of course, but he just yanks away anyway.

Any suggestions?

*lol* Well, I just posted about this a week or so ago. Luna's 10 months old today and she is a crazy nurser most of the time. She kicks, she digs her toes into me, she pulls her head so that my nip stretches about as far as it can go... Now, if I try to lay down to nurse her and she isn't exhausted, she will get on all fours and try to crawl and nurse, bounce and nurse.... :help:

Sometimes when it is too much for me, I have to close up shop and tell her "All done!" Sometimes she'll be ok with it and sometimes she'll throw a fit. If i can't distrct her after a few minutes, I'll let her latch back on again.

Drives me bonkers sometimes. Also makes me truly cherish the times when she nurses quietly and sweetly.
