"Active Breastfeeding" - what's the funniest position your LO gets into at the boob?

My DS has just started to prefer a new position to our normal lie-down one...he'll sit up next to my belly, lean over and bury is face on the boob from the top. It's hilarious because after a few sucks he lifts up his head, milk running down his chin, and blow raspberries! Not sure he's getting much this way, but he's definitely having a good time.

So I was wondering what other "active" breastfeeding positions other LOs get themselves into, that perhaps me and DS could try...? Not just for fun, but also because I still need to get milk into him even though he doesn't seem to want to feed laying down much unless he's going to sleep.

mawBoom - I was once caught by Dh with DS latched on, sitting on his changing mat whilst I was dressing him. Ds had opened my dressing gown and helped himself.

he gets rather overexcited in swimming pool changing rooms at the sight of all those boobies, and is starting to notice other babies / toddlers having num nums and points it out to me.

I love llareggubs DS's toddle by feeding. If only my norks would fit over the side of the bath I might get to have a bath on my own...

all pretty funny - guess i'll be looking forward to the 'fly by latch on'!

My DS does the nipple tuning, as well, and there's no better incentive to clipping his razor sharp nails than that...also the pinching and rolling the tender skin around the nipple, I swear it's like torture!

He's lately taken to looking for nipples on other parts of my body, so I have these little marks from him sucking on my arm, belly, the side of my boob...sadly, there are only two nipples on this body, but he seems determined to find some other source of milk flow.

RoRo, i get that too. he will come off the breast and start trying to latch on my tummy with a big slurp, or buttons on my jumper or a zip or something, or just take a mouthful of arm. strange child!
guess it's all part of learning and exploration.

dd used to have a thing about clamping hold of my nipple and lurching her head back and from side to side. wasn't really funny at the time and isn't now she's weaned as they're all stretched out of shape! yuck! let that be a warning to ya
