My DS was breastfed to 2 with lots of skin to skin bonding.

He’s currently getting to grips with these kids of boundaries- and can be quite insistent.



On your DD’s account- It’s about being firm but kind “no darling, mummy doesn’t want to be touched there” “no we don’t touch people there- why don’t we have a cuddle instead?” etc etc



Your sister might be trying to be “right on” or permissive so as to normalise women’s bodies (why else would she do it?)- and i get that- but she needs to be told that instilling boundaries in children in this way is not only “okay” but hugely important as part of their socialisation, and told to follow your lead on setting those boundaries.
