It's totally normal and VERY annoying! But adorable, haha. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1217439 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 20:57:52 +0000 Ra 1217439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: 5 months :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1217417 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 20:53:30 +0000 Adira 1217417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I pretty much had to do that with Xander - when he got to the distracted phase I started doing all our nursing in his nursery with the door closed to remove all distractions! And sometimes I had to put a blanket over his head so he couldn't see me! But I definitely think it helped keep him focused on eating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1217405 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 20:51:39 +0000 Adira 1217405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: How old is your LO?</p> <p>But yes, it's TOTALLY normal! Xander used to do this ALL the time, and sometimes when he's feeling playful and not super hungry, he'll still do it! And you all know how now he pops off the boob just to slap me in the face! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1217341 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 20:22:45 +0000 lawbee11 1217341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @rahlyrah: Oh man I didn't think about how that could be a reason she's waking more. Maybe I should do all of her feedings when we're home in the nursery with the lights off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1217298 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 20:13:09 +0000 swedishfish 1217298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom just called and R popped off and stared at me for a good two minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1217294 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 20:11:40 +0000 tlcbaby 1217294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Especially if there is anything else going on in the room. Easily distracted. :) He also enjoys his hands in my face currently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1217252 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:54:08 +0000 Ra 1217252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yes! Since he started he has had more night wakings. Grr... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1217190 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:32:53 +0000 lawbee11 1217190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's almost like a game for her. She arches her back and pops off then dives back on...over and over again. And she smiles and laughs while she does it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1217149 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:21:27 +0000 JerricaBenton 1217149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we go through these phases. I can genuinely say I love our breastfeeding relationship, but this is the one thing that aggravates me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1217128 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:13:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 1217128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and it's so annoying! I feel like she isn't eating enough and has been up eating more at night because of it. Good thing she's cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1216818 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:39:49 +0000 Kemma 1216818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sound's like he's worked out he has options! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1216812 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:38:56 +0000 swedishfish 1216812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I do love the big goofy grins but come on, kid! Mama doesn't have all day! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1216810 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:38:11 +0000 Ra 1216810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: @swedishfish: Drives me nuts! Pretty stinkin cute though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1216808 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:37:49 +0000 MoonMoon 1216808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and it's really hard to deal with! He's so cognizant of everything now-lights, sounds, everything. He also doesn't like the cradle hold-even though he only gets a few bottles a week, I suspect he likes being able to sit and hold his own bottle... I've found nursing in a darkened room helps, so does him having something to hold in his hands. I miss the days of any time anywhere nursing sessions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1216796 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:34:59 +0000 swedishfish 1216796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! Easily distracted lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1216779 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:31:01 +0000 Boheme 1216779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! Makes me crazy. He especially does it if DH is talking to him. Silly babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-popping-off-the-boob#post-1216646 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:57:34 +0000 Ra 1216646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over the past few days, B has started popping off the boob pretty frequently while nursing. He will suck 4-5 times and then pop off and give a mischievous grin. He will do this a good 10-20 times before he has a solid few minutes of nursing and then starts back up again. </p> <p>Has anyone else experienced this kind of behavior? </p>
