Anyone else's LO just lick the nipple when they don't know if they're hungry?

Question

Not every time, but before or after eating, she will sometimes just lick the nipple. And then she usually smiles and grins with my boob in her mouth still ☺ I love this ridiculously adorable child of mine

Answer

I think it's part of the feeding instinct, I do baby-led attachment for some feeds and part of the baby finding the nipple, they lick the breast and nipple before latching. It's cute!

Answer

Yes!! My LO does. It’s so silly
