Anyone else getting pinched and plucked to within an inch of their lives?

DD 13m is driving me mad with feeds /nightfeeds and getting back to sleep. Plucking and pinching my arms neck chest and face. She has done it before but never to mama murderous levels. Hold her arms down and she goes crazed. Like a banshee.
If it continues it'll be goodbye nightfeeds and cosleep and hello all night cot.
When will it end?

How long are you planning on co sleeping for?
Mine were much too wriggly by that age
but they'd stopped night feeds at six months
maybe if you had her own cot no more nightfeeds and more sleep for everyone?

compo i need to nightwean her but put off as ill /teething, next chance for DH to have 3n to help me (he wont help at all if work next day )is end aug, i just dont have energy to settle her at night myself and she expects my milk, she can take up to 10 nightfeeds . even with best laid plans at night i become bone idle...but i suppose i could stick her on cot and lay on a mattress next to her but then i be creating a new mummy lying next to cot routine....

OMG - my DD does this all the time!!! i didn't realise it was a 'thing' that babies did! that's really funny (whilst being painful and annoying!).

sorry i can't help with a solution, but i'll be watching this thread with interest

My DS 15mth does this, he's recently changed to hand in top nipping!! He self weaned bf a month a go and thought he would stop wanting his hand down there but hasn't!!!
Its V annoying.
I too stopped night feeds at 6mth, he does still wake in night and i just bring him in with me, little nipping session then he's back off until 7am!!
