CTTD Object permanence
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 up! -- Cheryl S. Mom to Julie, 3, and Jaden, 6 months |

I'd say he knows the boob is still there even when it's covered up! *snicker* Yes, Gwendobaby does this too. The other thing she's been doing, when she's REALLY hungry, is doing the open-mouth dive for any bare flesh: chin, nose, cheek....she did this to a friend who was holding her, too. If it's protruding and she's hungry, look out! It really irritates her though when she's hungry and wants to latch on, but she can't because my shirt's in the way. It's lip-rub-lip-rub-lick-lick...hey! wail of frustration, repeat. --angela |

It started after he had his little nursing strike a few weeks ago and makes me feel reassured that he really does like to nurse! He will lean over toward the breast while I'm holding him and start rubbing his face around. He also has started sucking on my neck or face as an "I'm hungry" signal :-D -- Em mama to L-baby, 6 months old! |

It's making me long for the days when my soon to be number three is doing this adorable stuff. :-) I was thinking a few minutes ago, and I realized that I have been either nursing, pregnant or both for 4 years and 4 months, and I have spent 3 years and 8 months of that time nursing. This is a big chunk of time! I wouldn't trade it for baby-free years or formula fed babies though, not on your life! -- -- Vicki Married DH May 21, 1995.

For me, it has now been 7 years, 8 months either nursing, pregnant or both and 6 years plus almost 1 month of nursing. (Now, I'm sure someone will come in and top that!) I wouldn't trade it for baby-free years or formula fed babies though, not on your life! Me neither!
