What would you do?

[broguemum]

If your DD asked to try some breast milk having watched you feed your 7 wk old DS what would you do? She's 4.5 yo and was breast fed until 9 months - I showed her some photos of her feeding but didn't let her have any as "there's none left at the moment - greedy baby has drunk it all!" If she asks again, what do you think I should do??

Express some into a cup and let her taste it?

Er, I hadn't actually thought of that - duh! So, if she asks again, that's what I'll do and hope that's enough for her although I think it is the delivery system that fascinates her rather than the milk. The problem is I'm not too keen on a mischevious 4.5 yo with teeth near my boob!!! Thanks!

Ds did this, I just let him try sucking, it felt odd and he stopped after a few seconds - no teeth and that was enough for him.

DS1 asked few times, and I told him that it was milk for babies, and he was a big boy so had milk from a cup. If he wanted to be a baby he could try..... no, he was a big boy, so didn't want any!

DD tried some expressed milk. Didn't like it much.
