I’m enjoying nursing my delicious 7 months old. Recently, his top arm when nursing is constantly reaching and grabbing at my face and it really hurts! He’ll pull my lips and nose or latch his fingers in my mouth. Any suggestions?

Get a sweatshirt with string. Wear a costume jewelry necklace that he could grab and possibly break. Or just let him touch your face!

I know the feeling, mine grabs at my n**ple and ouch! Best idea is a cheap necklace they can play with. I had to remove the diamond one when I thought he would pull it right off.

I had exactly that, I would gently move the hand opening to a flat palm and put it somewhere else.

Cut his nails
Bite his fingers with your lips
Wear a mask
Give him something to hold
Put mittens on him
