But I'll definitely try it tonight and hopefully it'll work. </p> <p>@mrsjazz: His other hand that's in front of me loves punching me also. So much abuse from babies!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tickling-during-nursing#post-416963 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:36:02 +0000 mrsjazz 416963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes! What PP said--I've been wearing a nursing necklace lately, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tickling-during-nursing#post-416958 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:34:29 +0000 chopsuey 416958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahah can you put something in his hand? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tickling-during-nursing#post-416956 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:34:20 +0000 mrsjazz 416956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter does the same thing, only instead of tickling, she is pinching &amp; scratching me! And when I yelp in pain she laughs! Sometimes I'll make sure her arm is pressed against me and she can't move it, other times I stop feeding her each time she pinches/scratches and she's been doing it less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tickling-during-nursing#post-416955 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:34:12 +0000 Honeybee 416955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you give him something to hold on to during nursing? DS likes to play with the burp cloth while I'm feeding him, but on the rare occasion there isn't one handy, he likes to punch me in the face. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tickling-during-nursing#post-416947 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:31:33 +0000 lisa1783 416947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is going through a phase where he keeps opening and closing his hands and when I nurse him, one of his hands is tucked around me and he KEEPS TICKLING ME. At first it was cute but I hate being tickled and everytime he does it, I have to fight the urge to run away screaming. As is, I squirm like crazy and then he gives me an annoyed look saying, "Please stop moving, Mama, I'm eating." </p> <p>I can't really change my hold on him - he's 6 months old but BIG (20+lbs) so I basically just sit him in my lap and cradle his head. Any suggestions on taming the tickle monster? </p>
