Advice Please
I have EBF for just about 10 months. For the past month my daughter has been pulling my shirts down. I have said no. How do I break her of this habit?

I'm not sure about the shirt pulling. But my 5 month old got her bottom teeth at 4 months and I let her comfort nurse. It was better than seeing her in pain. The breast milk helps with the pain apparently. Plus the comfort nursing helps her get into a deep sleep so she sleeps 10 hours straight.

I was letting her comfort nurse. She will stay on me for a couple hours. I am fine with it at night. So hard to get anything done during the day. This is my first baby I have nursed. I am amazed I made it this long. My new goal is one year.

Congrats on such a long time so far! You must be proud! I think with the shirt you just have to be persistent. Don't give in when she does it. She's old enough to start learning "nursing manners". As far as comfort nursing either let her (which I know isn't always possible) or try distraction I guess. She won't take a binky or a teething toy?

I am amazed I have nursed this long. I think I need it just as much as her. Jazzlynn is my last baby.
She only plays with a Binky. I keep saying no every time she pulls at my shirt. If it was not so hot I would wear a turtle neck.

Have you tried an amber necklace? I've heard they work wonders!!
