DS2 is nine months old and breastfed. I work full time so he does most of his breastfeeding in the evening/night/morning.
When he sleeps in the evening and wakes up and he wants a breastfeed to get back to sleep, he does this dramatic cough. It's really dramatic - he seems to almost cough himself sick, whooping and looks super-pathetic and crumply faced (he is a very cheery baby). The rest of the time he has no cough at all. Nothing!
I can't remember when it started - a few months ago - but it stops the minute he is in my arms for a feed. If he is halfway through a cough, he just drops the cough instantly. I don't remember DS1 doing this dramatic flourish; just crying when he wanted a feed and my nipple wasn't there immediately. DS2 is so dramatic about it that I'm afraid it makes DH and I laugh a little bit (as he doesn't seem ill....).
Does anyone else's child have a dramatic way of gaining attention? (Or insight into how I am rubbishly missing something wrong with DS2 for several months....
)
