Breastfeeding mums: what does your baby/toddler say or do to make clear he/she wants a feed?

[hugeheadofangelhair]

My 18 month old DS goes huh-huh-huh-huh- with his mouth wide open. Very funny, and it really means he wants a feed. Better than asking for bitty?

My 3 year old dd tells me her baby brother wants "milk from the boobie".

My 14 month old points at my chest and says 'that' (same as psychobabble). If we are in a room of people she looks round and smiles at them all in victory if I start to unhook my bra.

She also pulls me by the hand and leads me to the chair where I normally sit to feed her.

At my mum's yesterday, she even tried to drag my mum out of the chair she was sitting in because she wanted to bf and that is the chair I normally sit in at mum's house.

Until recently dd (2 next month) would just start pulling up my top and fussing until she got what she wanted. Now she's started saying "milk" or "boo boo" My fault, as that's what I've always called it! I got away with it ds2, who bf until 2 1/2, as his language was a lot slower developing!

Pulls down top and looks angelically hopeful at me... unless not a good time when I have to recover my modesty in which case, throws back his head and makes with the Square Mouth. Oh, you know the one, please don't say it's just me...

ds2 who is 21 months says 'baba' signs 'more' and sometimes 'please' then rams his hand down my top of ar his level

ds1 has now taught him to say 'boobie' much to my annoyance and their mutual hilarity

DD2 used to say 'mumilk', but at some point changed and now (she's 2) says 'hungry'. She always means b/f, never solid food! DD1 somehow translated 'mummymilk' into 'dadulk', so that became her word for it!

dd1 used to sign and later say "more"
dd2 just assumes the position, and hoiks my top up
