LOL at these. DD loves to fiddle at the moment and loves to stick her fingers up my nose and in my mouth! I was a bit the other day when I was lying on the sofa and she toddled over, pulled down my top and started helping herself

wenceslasmyeducation · 05/01/2009 13:40

Oh puddock that is

Wonderstuff, I am expecting DS to do that when he's toddling. If DH is next to me holding him, DS will launch himself forward and land with his mouth on my boob while DH tries to keep hold of him. It's so cute!

LackaDAISYcal · 05/01/2009 13:49

pmsl at some of these ...and wishing I had a funny story to tell too.

MirandaG · 05/01/2009 14:39

Well, I once took DD1 (at about 4 months I think) with me get my legs waxed thinking she would stay asleep while I had it done quickly. WRONG - with one (very hairy) leg still to go she woke up yelling for food, so the only thing to do was feed her while the (amazingly understanding) therapist did the other leg.

Flier · 05/01/2009 14:43

well I once (or twice) dreamt that ds had woken up and needed a feed (he was in the next room). I lifted the babymonitor next to me and tried to breastfeed it

Siriusmewsaysboohoodrwho · 05/01/2009 15:01

Pmsl at flier!!

corkyOrorky · 05/01/2009 16:36

Ds was in SCBU so there I was (a rare moment) at home with a hospital grade double breast pump. Just got it all rigged up, pumping away, tubes everywhere, gazing longingly at a photo of ds.

Then up at the window pops the window cleaner

noonki · 05/01/2009 18:13

lol flier - I once kissed the tv remote instead of Dh (v tired!)

We never let my sister forget when she forgot she had finished feeding her newborn,

she still had her boob out yet carried on talking to my poor stepson (aged 12) whilst standing right next to him pratically bashing his eye out with her nipple. He didn't know where to look

ohhh and I answered the front door to my DH's uncle with a boob out too!

PinkPoinsettias · 05/01/2009 18:36

lol flier.... not really bf related but i once woke up to hear dd crying and got up and went to her cot to get her..... only to completely freak out when there was no baby there and in my bleary mindedness i couldn't understand where the crying was coming from.

while i stood there in confusion dp woke up and very grumpily said 'fgs, what are you not going to feed her?' to which i responded with a wailed 'i can't find her!!!'... he was not amused at having to point out that she was in the bed where she always was in the middle of the night... i co sleep

shortshafe · 05/01/2009 20:58

feeding ds in local cafe with dd aged 2 sat next to me, she loudly announces, 'me boobie too' grabs her teddy and shoves it up her jumper, complete with appropriate shushing noises, rocking motion and latch checking type inspections!! Bless her .

pippibluestocking · 05/01/2009 20:58

BF in shopping centre car park and forgeting to put my nork away before getting out the car, until strange look from motorist made me suspect that all was not how it should be

hotCheeseBurns · 05/01/2009 21:00

Frantically trying to get ds reattached because milk was spraying everywhere and in his eyes hehe

Cryptoprocta · 05/01/2009 21:05

DD has started playing the diddy-harmonica, as we call it. Sometimes she'll start humming melodically while still attached!

wenceslasmyeducation · 06/01/2009 08:02

In the early days, when still not accustomed to the sleep deprivation, I once got up, walked past DS in his cot and round to DH side of the bed, picked up his alarm clock and cried, 'How do I get him out?'

oopsacoconut · 06/01/2009 10:28

DD has just started blowing raspberries - sitting in Costa yesterday, the place was packed, she wasfeeding when she came off with a mouth full of milk and blew a huge raspberry at the man in very close proximity leaving him with a fine shower of BM on him and in his coffee, needless to say he left without finishing his coffee. I did offer to buy him another out of sheer embarassment.

Shooflypie · 06/01/2009 19:27

I had to take a flight with FIL recently, and decided to BF DS on take off to stop his ears popping. Woke up to hear 'We are now commencing our descent', looked down to see DS head back, mouth open, snoring away happily...and my bare nork which had been akimbo throughout the entire two hour flight.
FIL was reading his newspaper and kindly didn't mention it.

MrTumbledoesmyheadin · 06/01/2009 19:54

my ds was in special care and at first had to b fed my milk through a tube , first time i tried to feed him he didnt really take any i must of forgot to replace my breast pad.

Heading back to the main ward i got stuck outside the door as nobody answered the buzzer......with a load of people waiting to visit....to my horror (and theirs) a very wet patch on my top rapidly began to grow!

I was sooooo embarrased and by the time i got in and announced to the nurses i needed the pump they all took one look at me and said

'love you dont need a pump we will get you a bucket!'

Essie3 · 06/01/2009 22:09

Oh, yes, oversupply makes for wonderfully embarrassing moments. Spraying a cafe window is one.
My finest was shooting a lilypad off in an arc of milk. (They fill up, and eventually fly off... if you try to peel them off, the milk shoots out instead.)

I also introduced myself to the only dad at a playgroup with my bra unclipped and my breast exposed to the air.

madmouse · 06/01/2009 22:24

ds was still very small, probably a month or two old, and on a mission to feed all Sunday morning. After 4 feeds by 9am I asked dh to take him and stuck my head under the pillow. Heard a determined little cry and got a nudge from dh. got my head from under the pillow just in time to see ds climb off dh onto my chest and start sucking my arm as next best thing.

Obviously 2months old can't crawl, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures

elmoandella · 06/01/2009 22:29

my italian MIL bringing all the relatives in to watch me bf in bed my ds. whipping back the cover to tell them all to look at the "bambino" while i was only in my undies

okok i know she was just proud.

but ffs she wasn't even embarassed that she was flashing my post birth 3 tone heavier body to all and sundry.

Joolyjoolyjoo · 06/01/2009 22:40

Lol at these! there are 17mths between my dds, and dd1 was awful for running away. My finest moment was running from a cafe through a reptile house full of school children, chasing dd1 while dd2 frantically continued sucking on my boob

thumbwitch · 07/01/2009 00:35

pmsl at some of these, especially madmouse!

ChristmasTreeTrunkThighs · 07/01/2009 12:17

I was upstairs with a very cross baby. She was howling and I was trying unsuccesfully to latch her on. DH was downstairs putting up curtain pole. Just get baby latched on when DH yells from downstairs for me to come, NOW! Kept baby latched on (it taken hours to get her there), came downstairs. He had hammered through a water pipe and there was water gushing out of the wall at ceiling height. Cue me balancing on a chair with baby in one arm feeding and a tea towel in the other stemming the flow while DH switched off the water.

Not quite as bizarre but...

Baby was about 5 days old and we went to a birthday party. I was sitting quietly feeding the baby when my friend's dad came over to say hello. He chatted for a bit stroking her hair and cheek - he had absolutely NO idea she was feeding and would be mortified if he ever knew but I thought it was quite sweet.

Wonderstuff · 07/01/2009 16:24

Madmouse I had one night when I wasnt allowed to feed dd as she was having GA in the morning, she was soo upset she cried constantly between 3am and 6am (and we had to get up at 6.30) and she was so desperate i had love bites on my chest
