the joy of bfing a toddler

[LiegeAndLief]

Ds had fairly limited vocab and has never said anything even vaguely connected with bfing. So I am still glowing from our exchange this morning:

Ds: More. More.

Me (melting): It's all gone darling, you've drunk it all.

Ds: Oh no! Oh no! (smiles wistfully and pulls my top shut) Bye bye.

Sorry, terribly self-indulgent and quite dull post - but dh was completely unimpressed and I really wanted to tell someone! How lovely is it when your child can actually tell you they enjoy bfing?!

very cute
Enjoy!

Ahhhhhh. I loved it when DS had finished a side, put it back, patted it lovingly, then flung himself at the other crying num nums !

DD is 13 months so not a toddler per se but has started lifting my top up (wherever we are, she's not shy) and saying 'yum yum'.

It is lovely to know that all of your hard work and giving is receiving something back. That's not why you did it but the bfing relationship is about nurture and love as well as nutrition and to have ds so vocally demonstrate his enjoyment must be great.

Ds is nearly 6 months, and he pats my boobs when I hold him in my lap. It is sooo cute.

LL that is just the cutest thing! DD is 12 months and has started bouncing up and down slapping her thighs when she is about to have a feed. She has also started giving me my bra back when she has had enough (I can't be bothered to buy any more BFing bras now that my boobs fit back into my normal underwired ones) She is happy to hand me a nipple shield whilst going "Mmmmmmm, mmmmmmm" when she wants milk

My ds (14m) has taken to laughing and pointing whenever he sees my breasts. In a nice way, I mean!
