Grabbing face during feeding
Hi everyone, first time mom! Trying to workout breastfeeding, I know that it’s normal for babies to grab their face. But it freaks me out when his fingers go in his eyes. Should I stop worrying and let him do it? Or does anyone have any tips and tricks? Thank you!

@Kirilee thank you, it just looks so hectic haha
You could also put his hands in mittens, or the fold over thing on bonds onesies. I did that a bit in the early days cos it freaked me out too (but he didn’t do any damage to reassure you!) we also use a little electric file for his nails so there’s less chance of scratching

My little does this too, and so far, she has not hurt herself...and she really digs in. So he should be alright.
