My favourite breastfeeding moment...

[Coochicoo]

My dd is 11 months old. When I get her into position for a bf and go to unclip my bra, she starts giggling and kicking her legs like a maniac. She gets so excited about it!

I love that moment.

That and the eyes rolling back just after she's latched on. I do the same when I eat chocolate. It must be good stuff!

Just though I'd share, and I'd love to hear about your favourite moments!

My absolute favourite thing has to be when I'm feeding dd (12 weeks today!) laying in bed. She has her eyes closed and is making contented little noises, and then when she's finished she puts her head on top of my boob and uses it as a pillow and goes properly to sleep.

I also keep looking at her and can't believe I made her.

Also love those melting moments when she's feeding away and stops to smile while gripping the nipple in her gums, while her hand stays possesively on top of the boob.

I don't want her to grow up!

I forgot to add, she also gets excited when I get her into position for feeding, she knows what's coming and makes excited " ooooh ooooh ooooh" noises.

Jackbaby used to make sounds that we called "the booby chuckle" while I was pulling up my shirt and unclipping my bra. His eyes opened wide and he did the little birdy mouth and reached with his hands for my breast, and the sound he made sounded like "heh heh heh aheh aheh aheh" with a big smile on his face . But now he's learning to talk so no more booby chuckle, instead, he sticks his hand in my bra and rummages around saying"baba, baba!!"

This is a sweet thread .

DS is 2 now and I no longer feed him myself, but I loved feeding when we were somewhere really special on a day out. We would be sat having a picnic in somewhere really beautiful and DS would be laid there feeding and it all seemed so right.

I also loved it once he was really active at about 14 months (was down to 2 feeds a day by then), yet at his feed at bedtime he would lay there like a new born again all quite, still and relaxed.

SUCH a great thread. Am missing breastfeeding even though she finished herself.

My favourite moments were us both falling asleep on a sleepy afternoon whilst feeding. I fell asleep then woke gently to find she had woken up and poped herself back on for some more. I rememebr thinking 'my god those weeks of getting it right were worht it for that sense of being able to provide for her'.

ALso love that she got all excited while I would sort my top out before feeding and roll her eyes back. SHe would make 'yummy' noises.... she only makes those noises now when she eats white chocolate....
