Shark attack while breastfeeding

[StealthPomBear]

I was feeding DD earlier, yawned, and had a toy shark stuffed in my mouth while my eyes were shut.
Later on she dropped the shark, sat up, looked down my cleavage most indignantly, found the shark (not there, on the bed!) and lay back down happily for her feed.

sounds familiar. how old?

14 months and has suddenly become very cheeky and funny :o

i can't stand the fiddling with the other nipple myself. ds went through a standing on one leg and waving one arm in the air whilst trying to breastfeed. not comfortable, even with super stretchy nipples.

I can't wait to get some of these quirks. They make me smile every time. All I get at the moment is the odd smile-round-the-nipple.

Although she has started stroking me in the last few days - from my shoulder right across my chest, it's like I'm a dog

ahhh
first the stroking, then the twiddling...you have been warned!

Blackeyed, ah yes, the Flamingo Feed

So it goes stroke, twiddle, flamingo, shark?

Is the twiddle the famous Radio Tuning?

DS2 nipple grabbed yesterday and squirted himself in the eye - he looked so shocked bless him

Then being a typical boy he did it again and grinned

I've heard about this nipple twiddling (ds only 11 weeks so not there yet), but how do they get to the nipple if you're wearing a bra and a top? Seems logistically difficult, at least in the position that I feed ds. Loving the smiles on the nipple now :) (and find the occasional burps quite funny too )

Oh they manage, trust me! DS manages to shove his little arm through however many layers I have on at the time.

Managing the nipple twiddling at the moment by whenever it's really annoying me I grab the offending hand and trim his nails with my teeth. Sometimes he hates this and pulls his hand far away out of reach and sometimes he sleepily tolerates it but it actually serves to calm him down a bit (for some reason) and he stops wriggling and drops off!

My most favourite thing he does is when he brings some random toy (Thomas the tank engine usually) to have some "moolk" from the other side at the same time.

The most annoying thing is attempted nipple-twiddling using TOES.

Surprise wait until he learns how to squirt it

I say to DD "Is that nice?" while she is BF and she gives me a little nod .

ds has just started milking me like a cow with his hand! Still have the flamingo to look forward to then!

Bertie, that is very cute! I am currently tandem feeding DD and a small plastic cheetah.

My nursling (learned that word on Kellymom and always wanted to use it in a sentence) is very well behaved.

He is also 14 months and doesn't really nipple twiddle, but does the stopping feeding occasionally to poke/examine it thing. I normally only have one out at a time though and he hasn't figured out that he could get in there himself yet. He lies and waits almost jumping excitedly till a boob appears

He just lies nicely and feeds most of the time.

If he ever tries to feed in a funny position he just bursts out laughing and gives up!

Love this thread! Thanks for sharing, hope I will still be bfing when mine is old enough for cute things like these!

My dd is 5.5 months and she has mastered burping without latching off. Very funny.

As of today I have had to start spelling M-I-L-K.

I asked someone earlier if they wanted milk in their coffee.

To which DS signed "milk", got all excited, and lunged himself at my boob, and practically chewed his way through my t-shirt.

It is providing everyone expect from me with endless entertainment now

had to laugh at the title op

i have been attacked by a spider whilst BF, though this is because DD thrust it at me with a vigorous push - 'feed it MUMMY'!

I somehow inadvertently called it 'milkies' so I don't tend to use it in conversation, luckily.

I think it was during a distractable phase and I kept saying "Do you not want any milkies DS?" without realising I was doing it.

One day I just realised that when I said 'milkies' he turned back round and latched on

I think it was the first word he understood!

I hate when DD is kneading my boob with her hand, like a kitten.
9 months now and finds random things funny, she can be feeding away and hear a funny (to her) noise and start laughing hysterically with milk spraying everywhere.

Sirboob Yes! I have to spell or gesticulate for milk, feeding AND breast as he understands all three though is fairly easily distracted now, especially if there are other children around.
