How do I stop DS pinching and scratching me during feeds?

[Clydesdaleclopper]

DS (7.5 months) is currently scratching and pinching the hell out of me when he is feeding.I've tried taking him off when he does it to no avail. I tried a breastfeeding necklace and he nearly broke my neck he yanked on it so hard. I have run out of ideas - it's almost like the stippling you see kittens doing and he does it on the side of his cot when he's falling asleep too.

Ds2 does that too, he also pinches my face when we are playing.. I have stratch marks on my face.

If you work it out, please tell me - DS2 (9mo) still does this.

I find it very hard to remain calm sometimes.

Have you tried socks on hands?

I tried holding his hand but then he gets annoyed and hits me instead. oh what we put up with.
