It’s all nutrition until it hurts!
Added 2023-03-12 04:17:33 +0000 UTCBreastfeeding is a wonderful way to bond with your child and give them the ultimate nutrition. The oxytocin released makes it feel very loving and kind until it hurts.
The pain from breast-feeding can come in many forms, such as nipple infections twiddling, pinching, biting, hitting, or any of these types of behaviors that your toddler will try pushing your boundaries to see what you will put up with .
Nipple twiddling is instinctual and a way to increase the milk flow as well as sickening up the milk for your child, but it can be very uncomfortable and very painful for some mommies.
Although I have shared with you ways to try to stop the Twiddle, it seems to me after all of my experience with Breastfeeding that this is a behavior that must be continuously challenged and repeatedly addressed to hinder it.
Even after years of trying to stop this annoying behavior, my daughter still goes for the nipple twiddle as an instinct during breastfeeding sessions.
In my opinion this is definitely a behavior that is hard to avoid as a breastfeeding mother.
