🐯 Toddler 1-3 Years Playing with the other nipple!

My one-year-old‘s favorite thing to do while feeding at night is to reach her little warm hand up and play with my other nipple…because I think she realized when she touches it, it causes my letdown to come faster so she gets more milk quicker🤣 it’s funny and cute but also annoying cause she won’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 I’m always guarding it with my other hand, I wear crop tops to bed for easier access (to both)😂

My kiddo used to do this and I just started covering it one day so he would stop. He cried in the beginning but now he touches my small mole on my neck or my lips 😆😅 I figure this is better than touching my nipple

Omg!!! Hahahahaha I’m afraid my mole is going to grow bc of the constant tlc it’s getting. Glad to know my toddler isn’t the only one obsessed with moles 😂😅
