ds1 (3.9) appeared with his soft cuddly dog (that he has in bed at night) and announced "better just feed my doggy", sat next to me, pulled up his t-shirt and proceeded to 'feed' his doggy looking very pleased with himself.

That's my boy!

Ds used to do this with his koala - he used to recline next to me going, "There you are, lovely milkies. That better?"

DS tries to get in my bra whenever he sees a picture of a breastfeeding baby

It's the first time he's done it, he never did it when I used to feed ds2. It was the lovely pleased look on his face that really made me smile - like he'd got the latch just right!! So sweet.

My DD did this aged 3.5 with her baby Anabel in Costa Coffee. Whilst obviously I respect her right to give Anabel the very best start in life, I must confess to feeling slightly embarrassed.
She even did the blank look on face/looking round while Anabel fed. Very realistic. Luckily Anabel is a fast and efficient feeder and DD has a fast let-down as feed only lasted about 2 minutes.

lol at turniphead yes that's the look he had on his face, sort of smug too, because he was such a successful b-feeder What a sensitive, nurturing son I've got, I thought.

5 minutes later he was back to strangling ds2 and using his beloved just-fed doggy as some sort of battering ram
