I'm not complaining, but this is a little odd. DS is 17 months -- we'd cut back to b/f morning and evening when I went back to work at 9 months, and about a month ago cut back to just mornings because in the evening he was just taking a couple of sucks and then sitting up and wanting water. If he's been ill or particularly distressed for some reason he's nursed more often, but he's never shown any interest in nursing at any other than his morning slot.
Now suddenly this weekend he's been asking to nurse quite a lot 3 or 4 times coming up to me, patting my chest and saying "Mummy, mummy, mummy". As I said, I don't mind it's been quite nice, actually but it seems odd to have this happen all of a sudden. His communication skills have been improving a lot recently -- could it just be that he's only just realised that he can ask?
Has this happened to anyone else?
