My baby grabs, pulls, and pinches my breast ... Why does my baby do this?


šŸ¤ŒKneading, šŸ‘squeezing, šŸ‘‹patting,

šŸ‘Œtwiddling, šŸ‘‡pinching, šŸ˜¬ biting,

šŸ‘†touching your face and šŸ‘¶ pulling hair and so many more behaviors ...


Who knew a tiny baby's fists could hurt like that? šŸ‘€ It's not always painful, sometimes it's just funny šŸ¤£


Babies, especially around 5ļøāƒ£- 6ļøāƒ£ months, do this for 2ļøāƒ£ reasons:


1ļøāƒ£ To help stimulate a let down or increase the flow of milk.


2ļøāƒ£ And because theyā€™re exploring the world around them.


Touching the breast and even twiddling the other nipple can help release oxytocin to send more milk or increase the flow of milk.


Babies are not only funny, but also very smart šŸ¤“šŸ‘¶


Whose baby does this too? šŸ¤±šŸ¼
