What do you call your breasts in front of your DC's???

[ilikeyoursleeves]

My DS is 20 months and has started to realise that I have boobs! He has taken to pulling back the covers and poking my nipple and giggling when he has a play in our bed in the morning, and he also sometimes squashes my boobs and thinks it's funny. I just say 'that's mummies boobies' then distract him and he then plays with his toys etc. I'm not sure what I should call them though? I am due DS2 in a month and will hopefully breastfeed again so I'm wondering what others call their breasts / boobs cos I think saying 'don't play with mummies boobies' in public might sound a bit dodgy!

Any other advice on what I should do? ie should I tell him 'no' whenever he pokes them or just distract him? I don't want him thinking any part of a body is wrong in some way though especially as he is too young to really understand yet.

Jubblies?
No not really- Boobs here too. Although DS1 did used to call them my 'nibbles' - cute.

Breasts or boobs. Ds2 has his own word for them, which the other dcs sometimes use as well.

Generally, unless it's something dangerous, it's best to modify behaviour by just ignoring something you don't like. Your breasts are going to be on display a lot in a month's time, so you might as well let him get used to them. Perhaps you might want to change his poking and squashing into stroking. I can't imagine poking and squashing is going to be very comfortable when you're full of milk or breastfeeding! So perhaps when he starts playing with your boobs you could just tell him somethign like "That's uncomfortable for me, do stroking instead." and guide his hand into stroking you. So he knows it's OK to touch you, but also learns how to touch you appropriately.

My toddlers always wanted to see what was going on when I bfd the baby, to cuddle up and maybe get close to a boob, too. That's OK, it's nice and cosy and loving, and the elder one doesn't need to feel left out when the younger bfs.
