DD3 loved to do this too...along with snapping my bra. I would just hold her free hand while I fed her or if she resisted that then use that hand to gently move her arm (I wear glasses so a lot of the time she was reaching for my face to get at them). What about some type of nursing necklace for her to play with?

I used to say "ow that hurts mummy." And move his hand away. If it continued I would take him right off the breast and remind him to be gentle and the offer the breast again.
