DD (2.6) asking for breast milk despite the fact that I stopped when she was 13mo.

DD knows that when she was tiny she had all her milk from me. It's come up in conversation both when I've been in the bath and when we've been around new borns bfing. She knows I don't have any milk left.

A few months ago she started asking for milk and when I went to the fridge she'd say "no, I want mummy milk". It didn't last very long, but twice in the last week when she's been really tired and teary she's begged me for mummy milk. She touches my boobs and says "pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase!" It's like she knows it would be a comfort.

I've been finding it quite upsetting because I'd love to be able to soothe her with a feed if I could, but I can't and she doesn't understand Sad

Has anyone else experienced this?

I can't believe comments have been deleted on this thread. It was the one about grown men with a nappy/bfing fetish wasn't it? Not a very useful or tasteful comment but par for the course in most sections of MN. There is far, far worse that seems to go unnoticed.

Very strange.

Hmm I've never had a comment deleted before, I would of thought I'd be informed hmm. Yes wasn't a very usefull comment but wasn't a rude comment towards someone as such, maybe MNHQ started suckling their children again.
