LittlePushka · 09/09/2008 22:19

Also secretly sad and envious that I never had this much milk

Tasted a bit. Would rather have a beer.

Aitch · 09/09/2008 22:20

of course, how can you not? it goes everywhere, you have to lick it.

I tasted mine... well you have to, don't you?

DH had a sip too. Declared it ok, but too sweet to put in his tea

ChacunaSonGout · 09/09/2008 22:22

yes no biggy its very gentle and incredibly quick

NoBiggy · 09/09/2008 22:22

I've breastfed for 3 years total, and I've managed to avoid it so far!

Aitch · 09/09/2008 22:23

see here's the thing.
it's so hard to establish bfing, right?

more i think about it, more i think that what i actually need is to hand dd2 (who is being supplemented by formula) over to a mate and steal her baby who is a strong pudgy experienced feeder. much better than a sodding pump.

theSuburbanDryad · 09/09/2008 22:23

I've tasted my own breastmilk. It was very sweet - slightly nutty.

Watching all those babies is making me broody too. Oh wait - I'm already pregnant!

Aitch · 09/09/2008 22:24

what are the instrctions, chacun?
what are you supposed to do with the cycles/vacuum etc?

LittlePushka · 09/09/2008 22:25

Sooo sweet... it does not taste like milk, even warm cows milk or warm formula.

Go on, have a taste!

NoBiggy · 09/09/2008 22:25

Aitch, that makes a lot of sense.

ChacunaSonGout · 09/09/2008 22:27

one dial is speed

other is suction

start quick and gentle - after let down go to slower and stronger

NoBiggy · 09/09/2008 22:27

I caaaaaannnnnn'ttttt!

I'm squeamish about my own fluids!

ChacunaSonGout · 09/09/2008 22:28

i heart that pump!

Piffle · 09/09/2008 22:28

hell husbands taste it
Unless you verboten your boobs from sexual activity for a decade
Mine still had milk 8yrs after ds1 weaned at 16mths
I think it's sweet and bland but I am not keen on dairy of any species tbh
Thought program would be v weirdy but am liking it

Alambil · 09/09/2008 22:28

That Columbian woman is scary!

Not asking, sexual connection?!

Pollyanna · 09/09/2008 22:28
