My elder daughter said "Cuzzle", a cross between Cuddle, and Nuzzle.  A 
made up word.

Worked very well for her, and she asked for Cuzzling for nearly six 
years with most people having no clue.

My youngest added the word BREASTTTT, with an emphases on the T part, 
always saying it with the cuzzle part softly and the breast part 
emphasized,as in "I want my cuzzle BREAST NOW!!!"  and no one could tell 
her to skip the breast word or say it any other way.  I finally got her 
to just tug on my shirt in public, something she still will do at 9 in 
situations of stress or when she wants my attention, right over my breast.
