How to stop the pinching?

Question

My daughter is 6 months old and is EBF. We've had an awesome time breastfeeding for the most part but recently when nursing she grabs my arm and/or chest and pinches HARD! It hurts so bad and I'm covered in little bruises. I've tried giving her a toy or small stuffed animal to hold, even wrapping her arm in a blanket but she always gets her little hands on me! Any advice to help stop this?  Pic to show how cute she is 😊

Answer

I just started having this problem with my 3 month old twins. I noticed that when I wear an infinity scarf to cover up they hold on to that instead of me and I also started putting the scratch free mittens over there hands and that prevents them from pinching/scratching me. The mittens never fit when they were tiny but now the boys are bigger so the mittens stay on. 
I stay scratch/pinch free!! (Most of the time) 😉
