Was going to name change for this in case I got called a weirdo but I can't be bothered, so I am outing myself.
While feeding DS I had a little suck, out of curiosity and I could get milk out - it wasn't exactly difficult. I'm almost 29 - so just wondering what that means?

It means you have regressed to babyhood.

StealthPolarBear · 21/05/2008 16:32

Thank you for not lynching me!
I don't see DS ever self weaning, and now I'm concerned that he may be able to latch on forever, i don't ever see him stopping!
I'm all for extended bf but 29 is a little tooooo far for me

think it says more about the stretchyness of my boobs than any thing else...

not reach mine of course- that would be weird
Can no-one explain about the losing the latch thing?

StealthPolarBear · 21/05/2008 16:48

Ds1 wanted to have a try whedn ds2 was bfing. At 6yo he could still get some milk, but when he tried again at 7yo, he couldn't. I told him that it was because he had outgrown it. Yet dh can get milk out when we ahem (he doesn't like it! - LOL) so I don't quite understand what losing the ability to latch is all about.

and my DH has never tasted it, again, as far as i know. think that may ruin the mood a bit!

Is it too late to name change? Or claim someone knows my password?

DH has tasted it . I think he finds it erotic . I have to say it's not especially erotic for me. He also likes nursing bras for the ease of access.

I'm married to a wierdo aren't I?

SPB I am in awe that you can do that, though - no chance with my microboobs .

StealthPolarBear · 21/05/2008 17:03

I have an overwhelming uurge to put a photo on my profile now to prove it! Don't worry, i won't, for a start, who would take it?!
liath, am a bit that you've seen this...thanks for sharing a confession of your own!
Do you have any knowledge of the 'loses the ability' thing then?
