I'm nursing a wild animal!

[Squirmsmum]

Growling, scratching, hair yanking, hitting, screeching!!

What on earths going on!!!!!

Nursing necklace!!!!! When Alex gets like this, I have a very colorful necklace I put on that has chunky beads and stuff for him to grab. I got mine off ebay. Just do a bit of googling

My lo started doing this a couple of weeks ago too. He growls, tugs, and slaps me! He's happy with the first letdown then gets frustrated as the milk slows. Sometimes I let him feed on one side for a few mins, switch him over so he gets a letdown on the other side, then switch him back to get the fatty milk. I find it's worse the last feed before bed because he's tired and when he's really hungry.

When Thomas does this I have a colourful scarf I put on with bits hanging off it for him to grab. Failing that, I give him my fingers to play with.

Headwacking ,. hair pulling can be teething.

my son is only 5 weeks old and he does this too. (apart from the hair pulling, he cant get hold of that yet) but he really beats me up, punching my boobs over and over again, it really hurts, hes a big boy (about 12 lbs). he only does it at the last feed before bed really and i dont understand what the problem is!

My son does this sometimes.. I find that switching breasts helps. Also, I think I will get a colorful necklace or soemthign beause I notice him grabbign at my bra and stuff...

I have one of these too! I get punched and hair pulled, it is worse when he is tired. I hold his hand and he he is happy to play with my fingers sometimes.

When my son is really hungry he moves his head from side to side really fast, and hits me with his hands when hes trying to latch on. He sounds like he's growling too. My OH was watching him the other day, he shook his head and said "he's like some kind of little animal there, like a dog or something!" xxx
