Pinching as a comfort

My 17 month old is using pinching (mainly my breasts - but also his Dad's chest if being held by him)as a comfort - has been since I was still breastfeeding he self-weaned at 10 months but hasn't let up. Because of renovation and temperature he is co-sleeping - so uses the pinching as his comfort to get to sleep.

Problem is I'm 16 weeks pg and it seems to be getting worse with him pinching my nipples. He is reasonably good at stopping when you ask him to - he's not very attached to any toys - we have tried to get him to switch.

Part of it is my fault as I like an easy life and would rather he was happy and content rather than crying.

Anybody else resolved this kind of situation? What did you do?

He is old enough to understand 'no'

So immediatlely his hand starts pinching take his hand, say 'no' and move away.

I appreciate that in bed this is not so easy.
