When a toddler melts a lactivist's heart

My DS is (very ironically I must say) turning 30 months just days before I turn 30 years old. We were across the street playing with their DD who is his BFF and is just 3 mo younger.

Their DD has gotten my DS into dolls,which I love. Their DD went to bottle feed her doll (as she was, not a drop of BM for her) and my DS sat down with her and gently removed the bottle from her hand and said "J", "don't you know that it's best for babies to eat "other" (his word for momma milk, as in...are you ready to switch to the other?? It just stuck) He sat there are counseled her on how much nicer "other" is because you get to cuddle with mommas and you usually get a good book reading out of it. Not only that, he says "and if I get a boo boo "other" makes it better.

I didn't know wheteher to laugh or cry from such complete pride. The situation ended with my DS nursing her doll and giving the doll back to their DD for the promised snuggle and book. What a peaceful night we had.

I have to add mine... not trying to steal your cuteness thunder mama.

I was nursing at a LLL garage sale, and a 3 YO comes up to me. She says "oh, your baby is getting nur nur's! My mama gave me nur nur's. I drank them all". (She self weaned recently). SO CUTE!

I've heard lots of terms that toddlers use for BFing, but I've never heard "other." That's too darn cute and so very original! You've got a sweet little boy!

Thanks so much for all of your kind words about my DS. Just to follow up on this, the very next night we thought were in for a repeat of the sweet incident, but....nope:

He sat down next to their DD, gently took the bottle from her and promptly bopped her on the head with the bottle and reprimanding her "SHE NEEDS OTHER, NOT BODDLE!"

He IS two, I guess it was nice while it lasted.
