How do I stop DD sticking her hand down my top?

She is almost 3yrs and I am getting fed up of extracating her arm from in the depths of my bra. She tends to do it when she is tired or nervous in a new situation (which is embarrassing for me).
She was breastfed, so associates boobies with comfort. I weaned her off the milk. How can I wean her of the boobies?

Don't know but when you find the answer please tell me! DD likes to do it to both me and my mum. I don't mind as much, but my poor mother is not so keen on having her boobies groped!

Dunno, just keep reinforcing in as gentle a way as possible that this is uncomfortable for mummy and she shouldn't do it?

Ds2 does this too (he's 3) - like your dd, when he's tired or stressed. I just pull his hands out and tell him no - I'm hoping he won't still be doing it when he's 15 (echoes of "bitty...I want bitty")
