Breastfeeding

Does the wild arm ever go away?

Lately I've been a little frustrated with DS's wild arm while breastfeeding.  Whichever arm is on top is constantly in motion.  It flails around, knocking my boob out of his mouth, pinching, grabbing at his eyes, and seems to just make nursing hard for him!  Plus he is more distracted lately so I feel like he is constantly unlatching and/or getting knocked off the boob by his crazy arm!  I know he's just becoming more aware of his surroundings and his arm is gaining more control, but sheesh, it sure is making nursing one heck of a challenge lately.  I love nursing him when he's sleepy because that darn arm stays down and he can eat without that pest arm!  Is this just as phase or does it just get more challenging as they get older?
