Anyone else's toddler like playing with their boobs?

So I have no idea what I'm ment to do. My daughter was never breastfed as I couldn't produce or she wouldn't latch. Lately she's come down with a awful cold and she is always pulling my top down to get to my boob and she loves to stick her hand on my boob. I don't understand why she's suddenly doing this

Yep! My (I’ll add, very sore due to being pregnant again!) nipples get a right prod regularly from her! She doesn’t seek them out if I’m clothed but if she spots me without a top or getting changed and she’s in close proximity, they get a little poke!

oh jeez you poor boobs. These toddlers can be rough

Mine have always been my son’s comfort for some reason. He was breastfed so I blamed that but it could be anything! Weirdly enough my partner says they’re comforting too so it could just be an animalistic thing 😂

Yes, my LO plays with the boobs when she is breastfed

It's super normal. My toddler is still breastfed and does this but I have friends with kids who never nursed who also do this. I let my daughter put her hand at the top of my breasts when we're cuddling, more on my chest than anything. If she tries to go further, or put her hand in my bra, I say no and move her hand back to where I find it acceptable/comfortable for me. I stick to the boundary every time and just keep moving her hand back. Eventually she'll get it.

My toddler is the same and I stopped breastfeeding him at 1 because I found out I was pregnant just before his birthday! And he all of a sudden the last few months he pulls my top and tries feeling for my nipples. Which is so annoying!

My son is still breastfed so I put it down to this however even when he isn’t feeding he holds on to my book skin just incase it runs away. He twiddles while feeding too and every time I try and pull his arm away he gets almighty baby strength to ALWAYS find a way back to the nipple! He puts his head between my ex’s boobs too and grabs onto her boob skin also so I think he’s just a boob boy🤦🏽‍♀️

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
