baby only wants me for milk

My 11 month old won't cuddle me, ever without my nipple in his mouth. Even if he's not drinking he just wants it in there or he squirms and tries to get away or pulls at my clothes an slaps my chest.

Dp gets nice cuddles but I am only good for booby juice and its a bit sad. Does anyone else have this.

booby juice

He sounds like a normal baby but you sound very insecure of your babies love for you which is very sad.

Bit harsh girliefriend
OP I can relate my dd only wants me for milk-cuddles not so much I've been reassured than when's he is older and not feeding she will want lots of cuddles then so don't worry

Yes sorry probably was a bit harsh, am not feeling very tolerant today.

Nacho, this sounds really normal. He knows he can only get milk from you and not others, this is special to him and you will smell of milk to him. With your favourite person in the world you'd most rather do your favourite thing too, right? For him cuddling with you AND getting the scrumptious taste of milk is The Best Thing Ever. From his pov why settle for less? Smile Don't stress, you're his mum, that makes you most of his world

Thanks for the nice replies. What your saying makes sense.

girliefriend I know my baby loves me, I am not insecure about that in any way. He loves me more than anyone else in the world! I just would like a snuggly cuddle without him demanding my breasts be on offer too. Especially when he's not actually even drinking, just sort of nibble sucking my nipple.
