Rob,
While my babies have done this and while it didn't bother me, comfort-wise,
it could be annoying in public. So, I found that my babies would be less
distracted sitting upright, facing me in a sling while they nursed. If I
pulled the sling fairly tightly and high up around them, it worked quite
well.
