So Rachel is constantly pinching me while nursing. I've tried redirection, I've tried giving her something else to fiddle with. I honestly haven't done the whole remove the baby and put her down thing. Maybe I should. But I am way over the pinching, so over it that the thought of weaning comes in to mind frequently while she is nursing. Please help, I don't have much patience for this right now. I don't remember Asher being such a fiddler, he seemed content to just be on the boob.

Novi went through a pinching phase. I got to the point where I just firmly held her hand and refused to let her pinch me and just repeated over and over "No pinching...your hurting mama!" Half the time she'd get mad and take herself off the breast, which was fine with me, as it ended the pinching. I think we dealt with that for a week or two before she gave it up and moved on to something else. I can't remember specifically, but it was probably pulling my lip or sticking her fingers up my nose. She's still very 'handsy' to this day. Just part of their personality I guess

have you tried a nursing necklace? this helps some for us but not all the time. the other times, I do what Christy suggested.

nursing necklace won't work - she is distracted by a skin tag type of mole that is very near my armpit.

I will give the hand holding and not letting go a try. She does tend to flail at that point, and I would be fine if the nursing was over too, I just wonder if she'll be back in two more minutes to nurse again. She is definitely getting a bit of a temper. To be expected!
