Is your toddler "too old" to nurse when? (Funny post!)

[peaceful_mama]

I don't know if a whole thread of funny nursing stories exists. I haven't seen one. But......

mine is 15 months and when I change his diaper before bed, I usually sing Old McDonald or Row Row Row Your Boat--cause he likes them and can sing along.
But *usually* what goes on is he's pretty ticked that we've got to do this diaper thing first, so he doesn't sing until....
I get settled in next to him--he grabs it and gets his first sip, THEN he will pop off and sing "E-I-E-I-O" or "row-row-row" looooool


He's also known to lift my shirt and say 'boo' I tried briefly to teach him my baby-abbreviated Arabic word for nursing, (abbreviated enough to probably pass as a code in both languages!) it didn't fly. With his sister it was 'boo' with him it has stuck.

My husband always enjoyed getting a rise out of me when our 2yo was tiny by relating our BFing to a lactating cow. Milk around our homes has always been referred to as "Moo" or "moo juice." As 2yo started drinking cow's milk, she started calling it "Moo Cow." ONCE Hubby asked if 2yo was drinking "Mama Moo Cow" and now BFing is always Mama Moo Cow!!!

My nanny was holding her 8 month old DS on one hip and my 17 month old DD on the other hip when my DD put her hand on her Nana's breast, looked straight at Nana's DS and said, "Ted, want milk?" She was just being hospitable, right?

The other day Nora was nursing and I looked down at her and asked, "Is that good milks?"
She thought for a second. Popped off, very deliberately said, "Yes." and then latched back on! SO cute!
I told that story to a few girls at work and got some weird looks! but I thought it was the cutest thing.

Awww....Thats ADORABLE!

Lincoln and I play games while we nurse. Unless he's just gotten back from his dad's, and then we sit in the rocking chair and we just cuddle and nurse. It's so sweet.

It's really funny though when i nurse him at daycare though b/c we sit on a bench, and he gets up and down about 4times! Lately though, he's been asking (by patting the floor) me to lay down on the floor and nurse him laying down!

DD has recently learned the word "nice" and uses it to describe everything. Yesterday she latched on and I asked, "Is it good?" She unlatched, patted my breast w/ her hand and very distinctly said, "nice boops (boobs)" then went back to nursing.

DH pinched his finger in the door and DD popped off, pulled my boob up and out and offered it to him to make him better. She said, "Booboos better?" LOL whoops...

At Christmas time I was sick and lying on the couch. DS (23 mons at the time) wanted nursies so he came over and was standing beside me nursing. he popped off and said "MMMM Nursies are tasty" then after a contemplative moment "Apple Cider tasty too" with a big smile. He had just had his first taste of apple cider earlier that day

[lifeguard]

Ds doesn't talk yet but when I ask him if he would like to nurse he gets the biggest smiles & bounces & flaps his arms & makes the greatest 'eh, eh, eh!' sound. Makes me laugh everytime!

[peaceful_mama]

mine has also popped off and said "mmmmm"

or given me a big smile (nipple still in mouth but open-mouth grin) and then continued nursing THAT was one from around 10 mos.-12 mos. happened ALL THE TIME and I wanted so bad for somebody to snap a pic over my shoulder....never got done.

I love reading all of these stories! Keep 'em up Mamas! I know all of our nurslings have plenty of funny things up their sleeves!!!

My ds sometimes likes to hold his stuffed kitty in one arm while he nurses. I give him a kiss and tell him I love him before he begins, and I kiss kitty as well. So, ds starts to nurse he looks at me, pops off and holds kitty up to my breast and makes a fake drinking sound. There have been other times he has pulled my boob up and asked me if I want any! Ha! I just love it. So cute!

[nerdymom]

I love these stories! I love it when DS comes to me and pats my breast. He just pats and lately he's been saying baabaa, which is I think his way of saying boobie. Ooops, I guess I waited too long to start saying milk instead of boobie juice!

[ElaynesMom]

These stories are all so cute.

Not exactly a sweet moment, but the other night we were having dinner with my FIL, my husband's grandmother (who is 87) and my husband's grandfather (who is 93), and my dd(2.5) shouted as loud as she could, "I love mommy's baby nipples".

I was a little embarassed, but it was awfully funny.

I've tried getting him to sleep with his stuffed Elmo and Winnie-the-Pooh. He's dropped off, popped binky in mouth, and then held up his buddies to nurse.

I was reminded of another one today.

I was sewing some presents for my cousins kids and needed get them finished so I could ship them out. DD was cranky so I was sitting at the machine sewing with one boob hanging out and dd was standing at my side latched on and nursing. Apparently she fell asleep standing up because she fell over. opps. She wasn't hurt and fell asleep again quickly with a few cuddles from my dad though.

Thanks for sharing this! Just made my day. She must have been one tired little girl! That will be a fun one to share with her when she is older!

DD is the most acrobatic nurser ever. She only ever sits still to nurse if she's really ill. She's been known to try and climb off the couch while still attached!

Lately she's taken to popping off, pulling up her shirt, and very meticulously lining up her bellybutton with my nipple and then giving me a hug with a very smug smile. Then she goes back to nursing.

This morning after I pumped (long story, one side is being pumped currently) she spent about 15 minutes playing with the horn, hooking up the tubing, and then "pumping" her bellybutton.

DS calls it "guik" and for a while would ask to nurse by saying "Odda won? Guik? Pees? OooohKAY!" and then trying to lift up my shirt (which has NEVER been allowed). translated, that's "other one? Milk? Please? Okay!" He likes to answer for us in the affirmative, as if that will keep us from saying no.

Since I got pregnant, we've been nursing mostly in bed, so now he says, "guik? bed?" Which I usually allow.

[ryan'smom]

when we would be out and about, he would make suggestions on good nursing spots: "there's a shady spot"......and he would ask for "other side" if he was particularly hungry, and he always insisted it tastes like "strawberries"......i loved nursing a toddler.......

Background:
My nursling turned 3 in Dec, and we had mostly weaned due to a difficult pregnancy. We were down to once every few days, but now that I have colostrum, we are nursing 2-4 times a day again. This makes for a VERY appreciative nursling.

So, she has conversations with the "nursies" and they talk back! Usually "I LOVE you nursie!" and the nursie says in a very high pitched voice "I love you too!"
