She needs comfort: Well Mom, your 23 month daughter is still seeking you out for "comfort and 'security" when she wants to sleep. It is incidental that she is touching your tummy & breasts at this point. Once she is older, you can assist her by explaining "personal space" issues. Until then, be grateful that your mother daughter bond is very much present this Mother's day.
