Pinching Toddler

Written on January 5, 2008 by admin

What do you do if your toddler or baby for that matter wants to constantly pinch you while nursing??? Buy or make a nursing necklace! I have no idea why I didn’t think about this before. Our daughter (18 mos) has always been a pincher during nursing since she was a little baby. It’s very annoying and try to hold her hand etc but it just doesn’t work very well. Now that she is a toddler she can “demand” her way such as pushing my hand out of the way etc. I purchased a few different nursing necklaces on the web and they seem to be the answer. Not only are the nursing necklaces good for nursing but they will last a long time as regular jewelry beyond the nursing years. I highly recommend either making your own necklace or buying one if you have a baby with a similar nursing personality as our daughter. Our son was so a very different nurser, he just liked to make sure that the other side was still there and then he would be content. It’s very common for babies to have different nursing personalities such as a patting the other side, touching mom’s hair, moving a leg etc.
