have explained to her, that milk that she drinks isnt actually 'normal' and its milk for calves, and babies need a different milk, that mummies make in their breasts. she was very interested, and asked why they sell milk for babies in shops, i said because some women cant breastfeed, so they make it. she then asked why our baby cant have that then, i said the milk i make was free, and better for the baby. because it is free i will have more money to spend on them rather than milk.

i am now waiting for the next lot of questions lol.

lol. dd2 (4) is obsessed with boobies. I'm sure if I were to have another baby (please god, no!) she would be right in there wanting her fair share.

my ds1 was very interested in this and very proud.he told eveyone 'my mummy feds my baby with her boobies'.and he was most upset when at 5 or 6 weeks i stopped.he was more encouraging than anyone not to stop!he will be a bf councellor when hes older!

my almost 3 year old is fairly convinced she's still breastfed (she hasn't been for 18 months).
