DS is 9 and a half months, exclusively breastfed, he is obsessed with my boobs!!! all night he reaches out to twiddle my nipples, when I’m feeding him his hand is twiddling the other nipple, today in the swimming pool one hand went down my swimming costume to have a fiddle and in Aldi! Is this normal/when will it stop?!

🤣🤣 Oh op. I feel for you. Mine was around 3 (when we actually managed to wean her). She was obsessed with them. Would shout ‘’boob” as we did the Tesco shop.
I recall giving her something to fiddle with while I fed which helped a bit.

Not helpful, or advisory but cute ❤️ unfortunately your nipples are his comforter. The word twiddling is also adorable (not for you experiencing the twiddling obvs).

I never put up with this, or lifting my clothes. Breast feeding manners make it much more pleasant!

If mine ever did that I would instantly unlatch or get up, same as biting. They only did it once or twice. Try to have something for them to play with, a fiddley toy kept just for feeding.

I am breastfeeding positive and still feeding my three year old, but with both children I have never ever allowed it! The sensation is absolutely toe-curling sensory overload and I can't stand it. Just say stop, move their hand or take them off the boob if feeding while they do it.

I learnt my lesson after DC1 who was a determined fiddler. DC2 never even got the chance!
