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!

will do Rarrie. DD does it to my mum too!

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

my lovely neighbours kids all did this for ages...i think she got them to stroke her neck instead

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")

I expressed for mine and he still gets them out and goes delving loads! Lol... it's one of those great being a mum things!
