Blame the Spanish!
The term 'boob' or 'booby' used to refer to the breast is much later, being of American slang origin, and originally in print in Henry Miller's 1934 Tropic of Cancer (as 'booby'), and in Miller's 1949 Sexus (as 'boob'), according to the OED, though no doubt used verbally before that time. These were not derived from the Spanish 'bobo', but from the 17th century term 'bubby', which derives from the dialectal German Bubbi (teat).
