My DD is almost 15 mo, and she's quite precocious B"H. I'm having trouble coming to terms with the fact that she's no longer a baby, and I'm trying to figure out what boundaries to put in place, and when.

For example, in the morning, she plays on my bed while I doze. She loves picking up my pj shirt and playing with my belly button, blowing raspberries on my skin, etc. When she lifts my shirt to expose my chest, I stop her (because I don't want her to beg to nurse), but I let her play with my stomach, hair, legs, etc. At what age does this become inappropriate?

Also, when my husband and I hug she comes over and hugs us both around our legs, and it's really sweet. But a lot of times when we kiss she watches us and giggles Smile

. Is it time to stop with PDA in front of her?

I am in the process of stopping before my daughter turns 2. Now that she can talk and say "mommy giving tatty a ma" then you don't want to do things in front of her.
