Stopping the hand down the top attack

3 replies

InDulciJumpilo · 22/12/2009 09:07

DD just will not stop shoving her hand down my top to grab a boob if I'm carrying her or she's in the sling. To begin with it was quite cute but after 3-4 months it's getting pretty tiresome - apart from always wearing polo necks , any ideas for how to stop it?! She's just turned 1 and is able to weasel her hand into virtually anything - buttons, hgh necks (just pulls themdown), tshirts etc. At home it's less bad but I'm fed up of my boobs being shown off in public places.

Oh and I tried wearing a big chunky necklace whic worked for a couple of days, now she's back to the boob

She'll grow out of it - she's only 1. My DS did it until he was around 3 (he was BF until 2.5). It's just your child trying to be close to you - don't worry about it. It is more the embarassment of having your clothes pulled in public - but she's a child, it's not as if she's 16 or anything is it?

tmc - I guess that's true, it's just when she ends up showing my boobs to work colleagues it's a bit embarrassing!

InDulci, DD3 (18months) still does it, especially when she's tired or unwell. I do sometimes gently pull her hand up a bit to the top of my boob IYSWIM so that she's not exposing me to the cold. They stop eventually......
