I'm not sure! Although when he's drinking from his sippy cup, he'll slap the cup while drinking! I'm like "That's not going to work, buddy..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me/page/2#post-1211242 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:44:18 +0000 cheert16 1211242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: B is doing this like a crazy man. he just slaps, slaps., slaps away. Sometimes its my boob, sometimes my arm, or sometimes my face. He even does it with a bottle- daycare sent me a video of him slapping the side of his bottle while drinking it! He is also super into pinching me!! Little brat! :wink:</p> <p>ETA: I was cracking up at work because this made me think of my lil guy and him slapping me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me/page/2#post-1211191 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:24:43 +0000 cmomma17 1211191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this thread just made me LOL at work.<br /> @Adira: I can't wear jewelry anymore either!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1211170 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:16:50 +0000 Adira 1211170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: hahaha, babies are crazy!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1211028 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:33:41 +0000 purrpletulips 1211028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS doesn't slap me but likes to put his foot in my face and will readjust his body so he can do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210902 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:03:26 +0000 Adira 1210902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Oh, I just take my necklace off around Xander!! He can't be trusted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210848 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 11:49:23 +0000 Smurfette 1210848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I tell R every morning and afternoon, gentle, just touch, when she pulls on my earrings and necklace. It has been better, so maybe she is getting it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210834 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 11:47:24 +0000 Bookish 1210834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: G has started to use my boobs as footrests. She pulls up one leg reaaally high and then starts poking at my boob with her toes. Sigh. She also clawed the heck out of my chest today.</p> <p>These babies are dangerous creatures, man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210825 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 11:43:36 +0000 Adira 1210825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: I think I saw that picture!!! I'll have to try giving Xander something and see if that helps.</p> <p>@edelweiss: I thought about ending the session because he did seem to just be playing, but it was his first morning feed and that's usually when he eats the most and I was worried about him being hungry if I didn't keep going!</p> <p>@Mrs. Blue: I need to try to actually teach him how to be gentle like you're doing with the Dudes. Hopefully they'll eventually get what that means! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210637 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:54:21 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1210637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: The baby dudes alternate between lip, hair, and neck grabbing/pinching. I just say, "NO!" really sharply, and then open their hand and say "Be gentle" while I stroke their little open hand over my cheek. I don't think it's making any significant improvement right now, but I'm hoping that it will help them "get it" sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I'm just waiting for the day I show up with my face bruised and try to tell people, "Oh, no it wasn't DH, my 8-month olds did this." Sheesh... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210636 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:54:16 +0000 travelgirl1 1210636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know how you feel! Mine doesn't slap me bur she grabs me by the throat to move the skin up and down and run her fingers over my collarbone, pulls my hair, kicks me in the neck/chest with her feet, plays with my eyes, nose, lips etc....crazy babies :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210635 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:53:26 +0000 edelweiss 1210635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh good, i thought i was the only one getting beat up by my baby during nursing. i tried giving him a lovey or something else to hold onto, but he holds it for a second before flinging it away and clawing/slapping at me. </p> <p>if the face slapping continues (and it's purposeful as opposed to him just flailing about), perhaps you could treat it like biting and gently put him down and end the session? although truthfully i never had the courage to do that even when LO would bite me because i was too worried that his feeding schedule would be all thrown off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210620 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:49:53 +0000 cmomma17 1210620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I don't know!! He does the Wolverine style clawing at my chest sometimes too and occasionally kicks me in one boob while eating from the other boob.</p> <p>I can't wait to bring this all up when he's a teenager ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210602 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:44:30 +0000 littlebug 1210602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. D does this, too. I just recently posted a pic to IG of him grabbing my nose during nursing. I have started giving him his A&amp;A lovey, and he waves that around. It looks like he's waving the white flag, ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210589 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:40:56 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1210589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup both boys have done this. So annoying because I currently have a scratch in the middle of my face from the crazy baby nails that won't.stop.growing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210564 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:31:37 +0000 Adira 1210564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: That's an interesting visual. I think maybe Xander's body is too close to mine when nursing for him to do that (maybe you have bigger boobs than me, haha). I think if he brought a leg up between us, it might make it harder for him to nurse, though I'm not sure. I'm glad he's not trying it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210555 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:29:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 1210555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Cradle. She just brings her feet/legs in toward her body. And it's her top leg that she rests up by my collar bone. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210513 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:19:52 +0000 travellingbee 1210513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, L does all the same things. I can't leave the other boob exposed because he will pinch it. He's big into slapping and squeezing my boob while he eats and then pops off to pinch. He likes to turn his head while eating, sometimes bites, and sometimes whacks me in the arms and face. Lately he thinks it is hilarious to pretend suckle my belly and then blow raspberries on it. Which is cute except when you are in a hurry and the kid won't eat!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210507 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:19:18 +0000 Adira 1210507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: What position are you guys in that she's able to get her foot there??? I'm not sure Xander would be capable of doing that. We do cradle-hold usually and his feet tend to dangle off the side of the boppy under my other arm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210500 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:17:55 +0000 Adira 1210500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Why are babies so abusive???</p> <p>@chopsuey: I am here only to amuse! And it's pretty funny when he does it just because he seems sooo thrilled! Like "OMG, Mom, slapping you is the BEST!" But I have to keep a straight face and be all stern, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210496 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:17:07 +0000 MsLipGloss 1210496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Yeah, her foot is up by my collar bone . . . it's not too bad, but *oy* And the hair . . . my LO loves my hair! If I have my hair pulled back into a pony tail, and I am holding LO, if she doesn't want to let go of me, she will straight grab my pony tail and wrap her hands up in it to avoid being pried away from me! Clever little monkey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210491 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:15:12 +0000 chopsuey 1210491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahha no experience, but thanks for the laugh. :P lol<br /> Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210484 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:13:31 +0000 cmomma17 1210484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are not alone. C loves to slap me around too. Hair pulling and nipple pinching are his other faves. This thread is so funny. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210480 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:12:47 +0000 Adira 1210480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I keep my hair tied back so it's harder for Xander to grab it and pull it! But he will if he can!!! And that thumping sounds unpleasant, though Xander's too long to be able to easily put his feet up on me while nursing! Though sometimes he'll just kick my arm over and over... so fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210476 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:11:52 +0000 Smurfette 1210476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210475 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:11:32 +0000 Adira 1210475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: hahaha, just mock my pain, you guys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210471 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:10:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 1210471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: You're totally not alone . . . my LO also loves to pull my hair and poke and prod me while she is nursing, She also loves to keep one leg up on my chest, and frequently thumps her foot against my chest while she's nursing . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-pauses-while-nursing-to-slap-me#post-1210459 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 10:07:54 +0000 lawbee11 1210459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Me too!
