We call it "boomies" and I am nursing my 3 year 2 month old and my 6 month old.
My 3 year old just LOOOOVVVESS my boomies. He has a habit he loves when he is finished nursing he wants to lay beside me and hold my boomie. I told him a long while ago that my nipple is too sensitive because he wanted to rub and I really felt uncomfortable with that.
Now he mostly knows it's ok if he just kind of holds the other part. Although often I just want to be more comfortable and also have my breast back, especially since the other baby is still usually nursing the other one.
Tonight I had to get back into bed after nursing them both because 6 month old woke again. Then 3 yr old wanted to hold my boomie and I just did not feel like it! He started to cry and I told him to snuggle me and he wanted to touch and hold and rub on my breast and I really didn't want him to. I feel so terrible because we have nursed so long and it almost always is so loving and sweet but then there are these moments where his wants cross over into an uncomfortable zone for me or just is more than I can give and when I say no, he starts to cry and cry and cry.
Then I get very upset about it and I really don't know how to handle it. I don't want to create some issue for him but I also need to say sorry, this is my body and I have to say no to this right now.
Please help me if anyone has a similar experience.
Thank you!
