Ds (23 mo) Using my boobs as a comfort blanket.

[BocaDeTrucha]

I stopped bf just after ds turned 1yo. For several months everything seemed to be going along fine then gradually I noticed he was staying to put his hands down my thirty etc and just holding my boob. It didn't bother me at first so let him do it as it felt it was a thing he just did when he was tired and having a cuddle.

It's now a little out of hand and he is putting his hand down my shirts every time I pick him up, in public etc. I'm gently taking his hand away and saying a firm no but he keeps on doing it. Sadly, he's away with dp at the moment and when we Skyped the other day the first thing ds said was "mummy, boobie! He also does it with dp and puts his hand down his t-shirt to touch daddy's nipples!!!! He is totally nipple fixated!! Any advice how to change this or will he just grow out of it?

Bloody SwiftKey!!!! I meant shirt, not thirty.

No advice but can totally sympathize. My 4.5yo DD still cuddles into my boobs and is always pulling my top or head butting them when tired. It is a comfort thing. I'm holding on to the hope that she will be mortified by my existence in about 8 years time so she will stop doing it by then

That's what they are for? He's obviously read the handbook 'Your Mum, and how to handle her'.

really, part of me doesn't mind at all because I know it's totally for comfort. He doesn't have any particular teddy etc he's attached to, just my boobs. But I have noticed disapproving looks from friends and mil which made me think he shouldn't be doing it. Also, the nipple tweaking is getting a little painful - feels like he's trying to find the right frequency on an old fashioned radio!!!

Hate to disappoint you but my dd is 5.5 (breastfed for 3 years) and still fairly obsessed with mine! "I love your boobies" is a regular one. She always likes a naked cuddle if upset or ill, or anytime I'm passing with no clothes on!! Totally a comfort thing for her.
I did ask her recently if she would still love me if I had no 'Boobies' and she said yes but did think about it for a couple of seconds before replying!!

Oh and often asks for me to try and have a baby so she can have more breast milk!! I think natural weaning may not have happened yet had I not decided it was time..
