ive been meaning to write this EXACT same post! corbin has found it “soothing” when he is just about asleep to dig his sharp little baby finger nails into my nipples and play with them! OMG it hurts but if i stop him he wakes up! i dont want him to get used to it though!
Hadley hasn’t nursed in near eight months, but she is still interested in mine. And I usually have to warn other women who hold her that they might get felt up by my toddler.
I’ve also been meaning to write about this too! Des is obsessed with my nipples. He thinks they are the most fascinating things in the world, and super fun to twist and squeeze. I have never had so many titty twisters in my life. I’m trying to teach him not to, but nothing seems to work. I guess all the moms were right when they said that breastfeeding destroys your nipples.
I do not envy this aspect of having children. One bit. My mother tells me the story of how I would pat her breast while nursing as if to say, “Gooood Booby. Goood.“ I think she blocked all nipple pinching out. She had three more after me!
I nursed my kids until they were nearly two, but my showers were MINE!! I had to have that quiet, alone time.
My (almost) 18 month old tortures one while sucking the other : )
A bit strange, but I’m sure that it’s just a phase.
I am totally with you on this. My Bitzy is 7 months old and has discovered that my nipples are better than any toy in the world. She has also discovered that she can pinch. OUCH!
I love your blog Sarah…it’s awesome.Pulling up your shirt is the baby sign my fifteen month old daughter has chosen to show that she is hungry. At least she only tries to expose the nipple when the shirt in question is mine!
Like Tara’s baby, my Elizabeth is another nipple torturer. She likes to twist and pull on one while nursing on the other. My husband thinks she’s going to be really good at video games because it’s like she thinks it is a joystick.
My 7m old is pretty dang fascinated by them, too. He loves to pinch them, squeeze them and pat them as if to say, ‘good boobie”. It’ pretty dang funny how they love them so much but love to murder them at the same time. Oh and I, too, have a snorter that will lunge for your chest (or the chest of others) in attempts to find a boob.

Oh my. I guess I have about 8 weeks left to get over my very-sensitive-nipple-syndrome before my nipples belong to someone else. And I don’t mean my husband.
