I was laying down on my bed to nurse my 4 month old son to sleep at nap time. We are both on our sides (me propped on my elbow) and I look down and say "Do you want some nummies?" as I sign milk to him a couple of times.
He got all kinds of excited, reached out and grabbed my nipple with both hands! He just squeeled and pulled every which way! Gah! I swear he almost ripped it clear off!
I'm going to have to remain covered from now on, dang!
Lol, sorry mama! I signed/sign "milk" with DS, but then he would/does just wildly bury his face into my breast and start rooting, lol, been that way since 5 mos!
Yeah, he's just now starting to act like he understands what it means. But I've only been consistent with it for about a month and a half. He pretty much just goes nuts, flails his arms around until he gets a hold of me, and shoves his face into my breast This has been the first nipple attack though, lol.
If he's really hungry/tired....he refuses to look at me signing. Like "I don't have time for that nonsense, mother! FEEEEEDD me!"

I haven't had a nipple attack yet, but DS is 13months and I'm letting him self-wean, so there may be one yet! In fact, yesterday he found the nipple on my other breast (he would've found it a long long time ago, but I usually only have out one at a time, lol) he tried fiddling with it, but I was able to distract him with a rubber bracelet, which occupied him for the rest of the session. He has also started yanking on my hair during feedings, so I think that bracelet or another "fiddly," may have to become a regular part of our nursing relationship.

I had to look it up when I first heard about it!
What were the signs?
