You know you're breastfeeding a toddler when...

Ha ha sure this has been done before but had to smile today. My little one was sleepily feeding before bed while racing two of his toy cars round and round a make believe race track on my chest. Very cute :)

So cute

You know you're breastfeeding a toddler who got face paints for Christmas when you end up with tiger stripes all over your boobs.

You are asked to feed a teddy bear straight afterwards!

When you get kicked in the head, gave handstands performed in your lap and spend most of each feed with a nappy-clad bottom wiggling in your face. The joys!

When they try to dip a biscuit in.

When there's a doll shoved up your top.

NJFC - I get 'Uh Bah p'ees ' from DD3 and Can I have the other Bah please?' from DD2. Can you guess which one is 4 and which one is 2.....

DD1 has named mine (for reasons unknown) Mummy Booby (right side) and Daddy Booby (left side). Get some funny looks when she asks for Daddy Booby.

When you shriek say "stop twiddling my other nipple, in fact, take your hand out of my shirt", and they say "I'm just trying to find a warm spot!"
(Disclaimer: not nursing any more but that's what he did, drive me batshit.)

When they respond to their newborn sister cueing for milk by flinging themselves into your lap saying 'I being your baaaaybe!'

Oh the second nipple twiddling drives me mad. I end up leaking all over .

...when there is a small person attached to your boob?

When they bring you a cushion and drag you to the sofa for a feed.

Trills

When you say

There appears to be a small person attached to my boob

When you have made the fatal error of thinking you may sit down for a 10 minute coffee and mumsnet session.

When you realise that for the last 2 aisles in the supermarket, you have been showing off your bra as DS is hanging off the neck of your top.

When your toddler gives feedback after feeding. ''Lots today mummy!" or "very nice!". At least the feedback is always positive.

When you know for sure that they are swapping sides every ten seconds or so in order to wind you up and make sure everyone in the cafe sees your breasts.

When someone tells you that their toddler only feeds one or twice a day now and you feel like kneeling down, begging for their secret. Oh, sorry, that's how you know you're feeding an insatiable toddler.

BUT also ...
When you know that you have the ultimate solution to tiredness, tantrums, hunger, thirst and illness with you at all times - and your toddler knows that there's nothing you can't fix together.

When you can't even sit in the bath without someone latching on as they lean over the edge. With dd4 this is when I decided to wean!

Nice thread

When random toys and objects are brought over for a sip of num-nahs. FOr example, today, we had a toy car and a Wiggles Dvd.

That last paragraph just made me cry FrozenNorthPole

When the wedding photos you're in as groom's sister also include a toy lion basically to hide my half pulled down top and rootling fingers and to give said fingers something else to focus on

Eaurouge I was about to post similar as I had the same when BF my 3yr old last Nov breastfeeding a tiger toddler

When you wake up with a tiny version of Rab C Nesbitt in your bed. Smelly, excitable, incoherent and excitedly grabbing your boobs.

Inspiration I love that picture.

When they pull your boobs together to see if they can get both nipples in at once. Now, that hurt!

When they proudly tell your DH's boss oldskool oldboy that 'Mummy's got yummy boobs', and yank open your short to show him...
