so can your breast be empty?

I always thought it couldn't but DS told me mine was the other day! did he just mean it wsasn't worth the effort any ,more?

It can't technically be empty, because your body is always producing milk. But from the perspective of a hungry toddler (I'm assuming?) it could certainly seem like it, since the flow would be very slow at that point.

well yes, that's what i thought - just amusing to have him contradict everything i've been told - but he should know

It would have been very slow. DS1 was very impatient and even as baby was never prepared to suck for slow drops of milk. By 4 months he was feeding for 5 mins at a time hourly day and night, and I couldn't seem to do anything about it. When it didn't come out fast enough he bit me. I gave up shortly after that, couldn't get him to suck to stimulate more milk.

so he was just being lazy! As I thought

How old is he? I am very amused by him telling you, too. I weaned my daughter at around 15 months, juuuuust before she became clearly verbal (coincidence, not "if they're old enough to ask for it...") so it never arose, but I dread to think what opinions she'd voice now.

he is 3 and is very funny Yesterday he was hiding under a bed and pretending to be a lion. When I told him lions don't hide under beds he replied "Yes we do!"
can't argue with that, really

ds1 tells me that there is always milk, but sometimes it's hardly any, although I haven't had that complaint since ds2 came along.

He loves it when "the fast milk comes on". I presume he means when it lets down, and he tells me that it goes really, really fast when ds2 is feeding on the other side.
