[quote=Anonymous]The human contact, especially skin to skin, makes the body release oxytocin, which is very soothing. You can accomplish the same thing w/o nursing - hugs, kisses on the forehead, holding hands, snuggling. Teach DC to breathe with you - deep slow full breaths in and releases out. Make it a game - can you match Mommy's breathing? It is both a distraction and the deep breathing has a relaxing effect. You can also substitute thumb or pacifier and then break that habit later. Or substitute a small fidget toy that is very soft feeling to rub.[/quote]
