Wriggly baby on the boob

Anyone’s baby started being really wriggly while breastfeeding? It gets to the point where I have to take him off for a break as he is pulling and stretching my nipple while his arms and legs are flailing around 😮‍💨 It happens more when he has wind so I’m thinking he’s uncomfortable in certain positions (being upright etc) but I have to keep him upright otherwise he spits up. I’m guessing it’s just something he’ll grow out of but if anyone has any tips let me know!

My little one has recently started biting my nip between her gums and then pulling her head away to look around which is super nice.
I don’t mind so much because she gives me a lovely smile when she comes back but there we go 😂

Literally me right now, it’s actually infuriating 😭 I’m constantly winding him throughout the feed but it doesn’t work!

My LO does this when he’s about to have a poop mid feed!

YES! My daughter loves throwing her arms and legs around while she’s feeding. She also nips me 😂 and I didn’t know it was possible for my nipple to stretch as far as she pulls it 🥲

Usually I’ll give her a break when she lets my nipple go and she’ll burp or fart and then get back to it 😂
