How can I stop 2yo ds playing with my norks?

He's not breastfed and hasn't been since he was tiny.

Tis getting to be a real problem - I'm sore! I relax with my hands over my norks so he can't get near and when he's in our bed I wake up every ten mins or so because he's found them while I was asleep. He plays with them while we're out (well, he tries to, while I try to stop him)

All I've been doing is taking his hands away and saying "no" but anyone got any more ideas?

I think keep on with a gentle no, and immediately distract with something else to keep him busy. Wear a bra in bed till this phase is past!

d'ya know, the wearing a bra in bed. Tis so bloody obvious, isn't it! I never even thought about that!

Thank you

. sorry just had to have a chuckle!! lol

yep, bra in bed here too. And a firm 'hands OFF the milk, hands AWAY from the milk' usually does the trick.

I wouldn't be happy with this, either.

Tell him clearly that they are private and we don't let other people touch our private parts.

I knew someone would come on and laugh at me At 2 is he old enough to understand about private bits?

I think at 2 you can certainly start to try and explain about private bits, yes (even if he doesn't understand yet).

I explained this to dd1 about this age in a very simple way.

Point to your boobs - say "mummy's boobies. Mummy's boobies are for Mummy. They are private. No touching for ds." And vice versa.

They do get it. Eventually

norks?!!! Love it!!! will use this one!(sorry-not being very helpful I know!)

shrinkingsagpuss · 27/11/2007 11:00

i'm sorry Squonk, just couldn't help myself. to cheer you up, DS asked yesterday how the baby came out.... and then repeated the question until I answered. "Mummy has a hole between her legs for babies to pop out" - "is it still there?" was the next question.... thank god he didn't ask to look!!

My daughter (3) is still breastfed and she adores touching - she likes to fondle the nipple she isn't suckling.

My nephew was like this too, with my sister. They grow out of it.

Squonk, not much in the way of advice, but you have my sympathies. My DS who is 2.9 is still very obsessed with my bosoms, he was breastfed till 2ish, so I reckon he still has some recollection of how great they were then!
He frequently tries to put his hand inside my bra, at home and in public, at the same time saying, Mmmmm ... titties, my titties, I remove his hand swiftly and tell him they're mummies and not his, god I hope he grows out of it soon ......
