Ds is 20weeks and ebf. He is demand fed and is almost constantly attached to me.
The thing thats starting to annoy me is the fact he keeps grabbing my boobs and digging his nails in ouch. Ive tried scratch mitts but he just takes them off.
Is there anything else I could try to stop him doing this?

give him something else to fiddle with while he's feeding?

a necklace or something to fiddle with. or if you want to go with the covering up his hands option - socks will stay on his hands better.

mine's the same. Reeeeeeeeeeeally hurts, especially when he has Freddy Krueger nails no matter how often I cut them.

Recently got a new necklace with a massive moonstone on it and he's obsessed with fiddling with that. Otherwise just have to bat his hands away, unfortunately - but he'd probably twist any other exposed skin if you were ff anyway. good luck!

Sellotape? Seriously though, it seems to be a stage that they all go through. I know it's really sore but you should try not to react as they pick up on stuff from really tiny. Or let him play with a muslin/ favourite toy and he may leave your cleavage alone.

This said, he may keep doing it until he grows out of it so keep his nails short!

Good luck

Some one off here sent me that link when i needed a reminder bracelet to remember which boob lol

I got one that says 'this boob next'

Hardly rocket science now as long as i remember to swap it over..

I have a grabber too!
I have given up on distraction toys / necklaces and she really seems to want to squeeze skin. So now I stick her hand under the bottom of my top against my tummy so she squeeze my saggy tummy instead! I much prefer that to her yanking on my nipple!!!!
