DA is 6.5mos and is so wiggly while nursing. He also snaps my bra straps, tries to rip my lips off my face, squeezes my boobs, bops himself on the head, pulls my hair... babies be crazy. Fortunately he is a little less wild first thing in the morning, at bed time, and motn when I nurse most. Other people feed him bottles of pumped milk during the day - I actually have no idea what he does while he eats a bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-an-infant#post-1990435 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 16:59:09 +0000 Mae 1990435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry :( I think it is the age. I'm not breastfeeding but lately my LO is even more distractible than usual when she gets a bottle. She is constantly looking around and playing with her feet and grabbing my hands and trying to grab my face and scratching me/the couch/etc. Babies are crazy man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-an-infant#post-1990430 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 16:54:12 +0000 meganmp 1990430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is about the age when I couldn't nurse at night anymore, due to the crazy that was happening- the slapping, biting, etc. They were fine other times, but bed time sucked. I pumped and we did bottles instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-an-infant#post-1990427 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 16:52:39 +0000 mauxie 1990427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 9 months and loves to pull my hair, scratch at my neck, or stick his hand in my mouth. Haha. I hope it's a phase. DD was a much more calm nurser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-an-infant#post-1990420 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 16:50:45 +0000 PurplePeony 1990420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD was like this for months (and still is if she's in the right mood). Her favorite thing was to stick her finger up my nose or in my mouth...or sometimes up my nose and then in my mouth :bummed: I tried everything I could think of but in the end I just had to stick it out...so no real help here. Just sympathy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-an-infant#post-1990414 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 16:48:01 +0000 JerricaBenton 1990414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The rough stuff was mostly a phase for us. She also loves to put her feet in my face still lol. She doesn't hurt me anymore though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-an-infant#post-1990409 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 16:44:59 +0000 avivoca 1990409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if it's a phase, but my toddler still likes to put her foot on my face while she's nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-an-infant#post-1990402 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 16:41:41 +0000 ellewoods84 1990402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know what to call this, but anyways, breastfeeding is becoming challenging as my LO gets older. She's 7.5 months old and gone are the days of peaceful, calm nursing sessions. Pretty much the whole time, she's either kicking me, punching me, pinching my face, ripping my hair out....you get it. I nurse in her room, dim light, I give her something else to play with like a burp cloth or I tried one of those nursing necklaces. She'd much rather slap me. Any other tips? Is this just a phase? </p>
