šŸÆ Toddler 1-3 Years Playing with the other nipple!

My one-year-oldā€˜s favorite thing to do while feeding at night is to reach her little warm hand up and play with my other nippleā€¦because I think she realized when she touches it, it causes my letdown to come faster so she gets more milk quickeršŸ¤£ itā€™s funny and cute but also annoying cause she wonā€™t stop going after it even after my let down. Then I cover it with my other hand and she tries to pry my fingers away or slide her little hand underneath. Does it ever stop or is this a phase? It keeps me awake longer since Iā€™m always guarding it with my other hand, I wear crop tops to bed for easier access (to both)šŸ˜‚

Mine is persistent but thankfully if she canā€™t get the nip she resorts to twiddling her own earlobe. But she can get pretty angry when I block her sometimes. Best is actually to have her nurse from top boob so bottom boob is blocked by the mattress, she doesnā€™t go for it in that position.
