Does anyone know how to stop DS from sticking his hand down my bra?

[AdamAnt]

I'm really fed up with it. I've tried gentle dissuasion and distraction, but he just throws a humungous howling strop. I'm getting frustrated with the constant tussling.

how old is he?

I wish I did.

But no.

I am on the verge of shouting 'Just stop GROPING me'.

the only thing that works with my ds is wearing a high-necked top so he can't see the boobs. I think at that age it's just too much to expect them not to see what they want and reach out for it.

(obviously if you are bfing frequently it needs to be a high-necked top with buttons or one that lifts)

18

(months lol)

Mousetraps?

Seriously my 15 month old is constantly trying to pull at my bra. It's really irritating as I'm trying to reduce her feeds and she's not having it!

i have just made a deal with my dd that she can do it at home but not in public. she's 2.7. she spent all today saying "is dis pub-er-lic? and here? what about x's house." it's irritating isn't it...

Wear stilts

oh, & she isn't still breastfed, but was for 18 months. she is much more boob obsessed than ds was.

I've tried the high-necked tops (which look hideous on me) but he still tries to get in either over the top or from underneath. Cue lots of red-faced huffing and puffing from both of us.

I'm BFing him about twice a day, but I'm seriously tempted to give it up just to stop the groping (would that even work??).

alarkaspree - me too!

hoxtonchick - LOLOLOL at is dis pub-er-lic

I have things like rice cakes ready for that eventuality in public when I don't feel like bf.

Or I just let him do it, if I think the company I am in will understand!

WMMC lol at mousetraps

Put a crab in there!

I did find handing DD a cup of slightly warm cows milk distracted her better than anything else. Not sitting down too. I'm much too tall for her her reach if I stand up. But this is tough because I'm pregnant and knackered so my normal position is sitting down whinging!

I did try big chunky necklaces and whenever she went for a forage I'd take one off and put it on her. Didn't distract her but she couldn't run as fast carrying them

Perhaps I could encourage her to take up smoking to give herself something else to do with her hands?

Giving up bfeeding doesn't work - well it didn't with my dd. About age 3 she stopped though - and started to attack my belly button instead.

i went hardcore: if you pull my clothes there will be no milk. backed up with 'don't pull my clothes' during usual skirt tugging stuff.

well actually i managed that about 70% of time but it did work in the end and ds is super respectful now at 2.10.

AA my ds was breastfed and woud still if upset when i lift him for a cuddle just nugde his hand in ......
i dont it will ever leave him - that instinct!

ds (2 next week) does this all the time while saying mama - i guess he sees the link between mama/mammary and actually think its sweet and loving lol

she also insists she can "stroke them from the outside. please mummy, is it ok?". i feel a bit mean saying no, but don't fancy flashing all & sundry.

lol at all your posts

ouch! at tummy button poking

you are discussing with an 18 months old? why? take his hand out, say no firmly and then distract with something else each and overy time - don't discuss he's too yong - as for howling strop either ingore or distract it out of him

hoxtonchick, I can't decide whether that's sweet or terrifying! I was looking forward to getting my tits back at some point, but from what you're saying I guess they will be family property for the forseeable. Arrrrrg!

TBH I wouldn't mind so much if he was less pinchy and scrabbly.

I don't mind them doing it tbh. Its comfort for them

mud - I don't discuss and haven't yet found anything with the same allure as my tit for distraction.
