He nuzzles his hand right up in there and it tickles! Sometimes it can even be downright irritating especially when I nurse him in the middle of the night. I just don't always feel like being tickled. It's gotten to where he has trouble falling asleep if he can't touch my armpit. The times I've tried to prevent his hand from going there he starts to fuss. It seems to make him feel happy and content so I let him do it anyway.
I'm not sure why my armpit is appealing. I realize that it can be prickly or sometimes even a little fuzzy so maybe he likes the texture. Allen jokes that he must like the smell - concentrated Mommy (or as I call it, Eau de Mommee).
Heading for the "sweet spot":
