DS2 is nearly 20mo now. He has never had formula. I have BFed his teddy a number of times. Last week he was sitting on the step with his shirt up, BFing Teddy. Teddy seemed a bit low but I didn't think anything of it. Today, after his bath, I had to BF Teddy again. Then DS2 took over. The...

So this morning I had Bub in the bath to try and loosen up some of his congestion... Anyway, he gets bored with playing with his tubby toys and looks down at his chest, discovering his nipples. He pokes, pulls, grabs (ouch) and finally tries to get one of them into his mouth! Apparently he figured...

DS did a new thing yesterday. We were nursing, when suddenly, he unlatched, threw back his head, and whistled several times. He was very deliberate in forming his mouth in a whistling position. I whistled back, and he responded in kind. A bit later, he was trotting around on the floor, and...

At the tender age of just 10 weeks, our little bean has discovered the television. He's not just watching, but cooing in response. sigh I don't know whether to laugh or cry. -- Deirdre, in the company of Baby Beastie

I walked back into the living room from getting some OJ for DS, and I saw DD with one arm in her sweatshirt, the other arm coming out of the neck, and an enormous (well, on her) army/bucket hat on her head. I couldn't see her face at all. She pulled the hat off, grinned at me, and said...

I think Jaden has developed object permanence. Yesterday he *really* wanted to nurse and started grabbing at my shirt, pulling the neck of it away from me, and rubbing his face all over me trying to latch right through the fabric. I'd say he knows the boob is still there even when it's covered...

Bethany (16mth) puts my breasts together and says "patty-cake". She also has started shaking them, saying "tweet tweet" (she flaps her own arms sometimes and "tweets") She is my very silly gal. Marie

Laszlo has been KILLING me lately! He plays hubby's guitars all the time and makes up words to his lil songs. Usually it's just the dogs' names and things like that, and after a performance he requires applause (of course). So the other day he played some music for my mother and me and then we...

I've been offering Laszlo "boobie" since he weaned at 13 months, a year ago. I offer it to him mostly in a joking manner and he always says no. The other night I was in bed and I always lie with my shirt up and belly exposed because that's when Lily does the most dancing...and part of our...

Rocky, 13 months, apparently has been picking up on Pillbug's therapy. I was nursing him to sleep tonight and I thought he was done, so I pulled up the flap. He looked at me and signed "more". -- Anita --

for quite a few months, when we breastfeed lying down at home, when DS finishes, he will get off the bed, turn around & pat the booby once to say "thank you". that's cute, but now (unlike all the other toddlers are trying to rip mum's top off to get to the booby), DS does his thank you pat &...

So, I go to pick up my sons at daycare. It's a nice day outside, so the 3 year olds are outside on the playground. I get over to the playground and my 3 year old (Nathan) yells, "MOM, I'm feeding my baby!" And there he is, shirt hiked up and an 8 inch round playground ball shoved up against his...

My 2 yo son is going through that toddler phase where he wants 2 of everything - if you give him a bikkie, he says "Twooo" - one for each hand. Piece of toast, he wants 2 pieces (luckily, breaking it in half generally works). A few days ago, we were outside stacking some old wood for a bonfire...

P was sitting next to me on the couch, asking me to read him a book. All of a sudden, there was a little belch sound. I looked at him and said "What was that?" He looked at me, with a "duh" look and said "Burp." snort -- 'Tis Herself

When my big kids wanted to be picked up, they would hold up their arms and say, "Hold you," which I thought was pretty cute. When Lorelei wants me to pick her up, she says, "Arm." I guess she means she wants to be in my arms. :-) Leslie

Today I finally found a girdle to try to control my bulging baby stomach under the bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding. I was showing it to Emily with William looking on and he said, "Is that a new bra for the Bas (i.e. breasts) to sleep in?" Leslie

When William is sad, he will come to me and say, "I want Ba to make me feel better." Other times, when he says, "I want Ba," I will ask him why. Some times he say, "I want Ba to make me happy," and others he says, "I not want to tell you." When he has been switch-nursing and one side is more or...

William has a very active imagination and loves to pretend. He especially likes to pretend that I am the baby and he is the mommy. So yesterday he said to me, "Come on, Baby. It is time to go to church." Then he took my hand and led me toward the den. I said, "What will we do at church?" He...

My 3 1/2yo nursling preschooler, while nursing before bed and having a discussion about the impending baby, with a hopeful look in his eyes: "Will you grow MORE beebees when the baby is born?" Possible interpretaions: Woo-hoo, even more beebees and milk for me! OR... This new kid better come with...

I was dressing my son for bed last night and with sudden recognition, he points to his own nipple and says "Ma-Milk?" (his name for nursing), and I said "Yes, that's YOUR Ma-Milk". With a cheeky grin, he looks down at himself and says "Drink it?" , and I say "Nooo, you can only drink Mama's",...
