Whoops, I don't know why that posted with no message in it.

My ds, who is not quite a toddler, is cruising everywhere and has started to be able to walk while holding only one of my hands. The other he likes to use to hold some object.

We were nursing on the floor and he unlatched, scooted away, picked up his sippy cup, grasped my hands, and climbed back into my lap. Then he latched back on, holding the cup!

:LOL

:LOL Was he planning on switching back and forth between the cup and the boob, like a multi course meal?:LOL

 

[captain optimism]

Nope, he just likes to have it there, in case he needs it. For something.

For awhile he was bringing along a book!

So cute! My son nursed clinging to a rattle today (couldn't wrest it from his superhumanly strong clutches)... so this is what I have to look forward to?

oh, i just love hearing all the older nursling stories! maybe he is really loves his sippy and wants to share the boobie love with it!

my dd is 7.5 mo and she is starting to sit up and nurse- the only problem is that she cannot hold herself up for very long and ends up sliding down... taking my boob with her! i am actually very much looking forward to having a nursing toddler- flyby and all. its such a cute, natural part of development

nursing toddler alert: my ds always picks a matchbox car to "drive" all over me while he is nursing.

My DD nursed holding her toothbrush yesterday! Its as if she was thinking, 'Well I'll nurse, clean my teeth and then I'm off to play' lol

Nursing an older baby is such fun!

My ds is starting to want one of two stuffed animals that he sleeps with while nursing. We can be downstairs and he'll latch on, pull of and say ma-ma which is how he says Marmalade (the name of his bear, which also causes some confusion because it sounds almost exactly like mama (me)) or else he will say "duck". He then crawls down, goes all the way upstairs to get either the bear or duck and comes all the way back downstairs to nurse again.

LOL, I'd actually look forward to that! DS nurses clutching my hand (no NAK or anything for me!)
