DD gets off the first side and moves over to the other side saying, 'you can't see the telly from that one.'

lol kiskidee.

Was feeding dd in bed the other morning - dp there too - after a few minutes she came off and very politely offered some to her father.

Indith · 08/01/2008 11:03

KK you know I was saying at the meet that I thought ds was self weaning? I've fed him once in the past 4 days

I've had to feed a lot of squeezy bath toys too

sits up to feed so she can see the teletubbies too...

when your black maternity bra is almost white and all the elastic has gone

I knew I had been feeding DS for some time, when I would wander around with my top scrunched up around my neck with maternity sling bra in full view (in front of people) without a care in the world

Brilliant. I love your dd!

I fed ds2 until he was 3.5, and he was able to discuss the flavour of the mummy milk ("Better than chocolate"). No self-weaning for us. He's now 4.5 but still asks (kinda cheekily/hopefully/but very earnestly) for feeds, when my boobs are out. I still feel mean for saying no.

Notquitegrownup · 08/01/2008 13:37

PS Did you ever read that book "Talk to the hand" about the death of manners, and how rude everyone is today? The author's example of terrible falling standards involves a health visitor who visited a home where a child who was talking was still being breastfed, and who oh-so-politely suggested to the mother that "it was about time that they cut this out". Apparently the child detatched himself from the boob, told the health visitor to f* off, and went back to feeding!!!

Dear Auntie Flossie, who seemed to think I would enjoy this book for Christmas, was delighted that I was roaring with laughter at it!

IorekByrnison · 08/01/2008 13:43

pmsl. I would have been proud!

cmotdibbler · 08/01/2008 18:50

I tandem fed Iggle Piggle the other day... Need to work on nursing manners though as DS pushed both hands down my top and fished a boob out and latched on.

kiskidee · 08/01/2008 20:31

ooohh, I do hope that one day my dd can reminisce and tell me that that my milk is better than chocolate!

4 days Indith? wow. I have no idea when dd will do that. she loves her milk.

heehee, love the comments!!

I don't know how it's taken me so long to find this section but I'm so glad, I was starting to feel a bit odd still feeding my dd at 19 months.

I'm now wondering what the future holds for us as she doesn't look like she'll be weaning any time soon and is really getting good at her words

Anna8888 · 08/01/2008 21:06

LOL .

I've had the mummy's milk is better than chocolate one, too.

Notquitegrownup · 09/01/2008 13:14

Hmmm, mine was probably largely chocolate anyway, given the amounts I needed to consume to feed my milk monsters!

(Both would happily feed every two hours up until they were 3. Distract them? Well, I didn't try nuclear bombs, but I tried most other things!)

kiskidee · 09/01/2008 13:16

I mentioned to dh this morning that i hoped one day dd would tell me my milk tasted beter than choc.

He kindly pointed out that she already did. Last night she had a bunch of chocolate buttons in the pocket of her dress but asked for milk anyway and refused to eat them when suggested she eat them instead of drink milk.
