It doesn't get any better than this.

[CharCharGaboriaInExcelsisDeo]

DD lay asleep on my lap before, head cradled in the pillow of my breast with a tummy full of warm milk. Her face was so peaceful and still with a happy flush across her cheeks. Her little hand rested possessively on my breast. I drank in her beauty and her clean baby smell. Then I reluctantly lay her in her cot and came downstairs. It's the same every night, but tonight I just reflected and enjoyed my beautiful little girl, lying still as she does so rarely. It was lovely Sorry for the soppiness!

I am sooooo broody I would love to be pg again. I know this time will be my last though so it's a big thing.

DS is on about 4 feeds a day but he is still waking at 5ish for his night feed.

Also, WMMC, didn't get your email, shall I CAT you?

I would like another baby, but without the pregnancy would be good. Actually I'd like one that came, full formed six months old, preferably without reflux or flatulence.

Oooh I did send it. Will send it again from my other account and see if that gets through hang on a tick.....

4 feeds is good, DD's on about the same unless she's ill. She still wakes about 3/4 times a night though. Every time her sleep gets a little better she gets ill or starts teething again.

I'm incredibly broody too. We planning to ttc when DD turns 2 but it seems so long away. My body is saying get pregnant! But my mind is saying sort out the finances first. And DD's sleep. For once I believe I will listen to my mind, although it's really hard. I loved being pregnant, I felt really beautiful.

VS - password is 'booby' btw

I get the talking with a full mouth thing
Though we taught DD half a dozen BSL signs and when we are tandem nursing, she'll point to her brother and sign milk and then point at herself and sign milk again with a big smile. Telling me, 'my brother has milk and I have milk too'..how cute.

I am missing my baby girl she is at her grandma's, just my "little" boy to cuddle tonight.

Awwww that's so cute be. DD talks a lot already but I can't wait until she can talk in sentences. Atm she just shoves her hand down my top and twiddles, saying 'Moooore?' or 'Ma ma ma mooky?' Tis very cute and hard to resist. Mainly because if I say no she gives my nipple a good twist

BabiesEverywhere - DD has learned the word 'swap' in these situations .

Charchar, Ouch, at the nipple pinching...I give DD something to play with when she nurses to stops her messing...literally anything I can get my hands on, else she resorts to poking me and her brother !!!

WMMC, I have a whopper too. At 3.5 months old my DS is moving out of 3 to 6 month clothes !?! Maybe it is tandem nursing that does it, gives us very healthy milk supply etc.

LOL, at swap

OH, I remember that feeling when DS was little, except that at that point we would be lying in the bed cos he could only feed lying next to me. I even wrote a wee poem about it, especially "his little hand, so soft, so small, possessive on my breast" (that's all I'm prepared to share!!)

Aaaah. Happy days.

BE, so pleased you're doing good, I know how hard it was for you. xx

Thanks VS

I used to love the milky sly smile my ds used to give me after a full feed! Now he is not interseted in my milk and when i bring him to the breast he nips and bites me so much my nipples and breasts are covered in scraches and bruises!! i wish for those times again!!!

I'm so so glad I am breastfeeding for moments like these, when ds looks up at me with his big blue eyes my heart just melts

Whomovedmychocolate - wow your ds is huuuuuge And utterly scrumptious to boot

I too am feeling broody. No plan to stop any time soon (ds is only 11mo) but would love to tandem feed! We're thinking of TTCing next summer, my friend is determined to make me wait until November as that's when she'll be getting married and TTCing!

VS - Ds is finally sleeping through... but only until 4.30 - 5am. I feed him then but e won't go back to sleep. Especially hard as I have been waking up at 3am and not being able to get back to sleep

Bouncing - he is huge. But I've already accepted he looks like a King Edward potato so I don't mind that he's not all that scrumptious Especially as he kept me up all night last night the little rascal.

Babies - I think you may have something there - DS was out of 3-6 month clothes by 3 months. He's slowed down a bit now and is only in 9-12 months (which as you can see are a tad tight on him ).

So here's a question for you tandem feeders, let's say one of us gets pregnant within the next month - would you feed three?

Sigh, I can't get pregnant next month (for millions of reasons) yet if I threw practicality out of the window, yes I would try and feed three.

Mind you, I bet DM and DMIL would be competing to tell me how I couldn't/shouldn't do it. (Though my DM does believe strongly in breastfeeding littlies, over 1 years olds don't need breast milk on demand in her opinion )

Well people feed triplets don't they

I'll be stopping at 2 though so I doubt that'll be me... unless I have twins

Wet nurses use to have up to 8 babies at one time !!! Mind you no idea on the mortality rates of those babies.

BabiesEverywhere - blimey that's real production line nursing!!!! I find two a struggle in terms of time and energy!
