When my almost 5 year old snuggles up to me he likes to put his hand on my breast. It's innocent obviously and I'm sure it just feels like a comforting pillow to him but he also likes to touch. What do I do, tell him my breasts are private? Or is 5 still okay for him to get comfort from his mother's breasts?

Take his hand gently off and say don't put your hand there I don't like it, here touch me here (move it somewhere else).

My DD used to press this vein on the back of my hand - I hated it. I just asked her gently not to do it as I don't like how it feels.

Substitute it in your mind for 5yo DD and treat it the same way.

Please don't touch, that's a private area on mommy.

Personally, at age 5 I would leave it alone, such a young age....but maybe thats just me

Eta just realized the wording was "almost 5".
I would definitely leave it alone.
At age 5-6 I would simply move the hand to my neck or somewhere and say "here, lets snuggle like this"

At a young age is when it's important for children to learn boundaries and the understanding that people have private areas that shouldn't be touched.
