Skin to skin contact 5 yrs old

[GriseldaChop]

Hi, my five year old has recently started wanting skin to skin contact and will try and cuddle against my tummy or chest whenever he can, lifting his own t shirt so we're skin to skin. He's not normally very tactile so it is nice getting extra cuddles but just wanted to check that this isn't too unusual. I'm probably overthinking it!

I also have a very tactile little boy, he’s 7 now and would spend most evenings tucked inside my t-shirt if I let him.

Normally I don’t, but he normally doesn’t wear a pyjama top so snuggles up to me like that.

I don’t think it’s anything to be worried about but I also think he’s old enough to be told no if you don’t want to.

Thanks for the replies. I really don't mind the cuddles at all and he knows private parts are private. As long as he doesn't try and expose my big tum out of the house we'll be fine! There's no chance of him doing it with other people, he's really not tactile at all. Only really me and DH get cuddles, much to grandparents disappointment!
