Subject: I helped a woman breastfeed her toucan!



Ok,  so it was only a dream - but in light of all the heavy stuff on lactnet

recently, I thought you might enjoy a good laugh!  (this is what my relaxed

post vacation brain conjured up all on its own!)



So, I dreamt that a woman asked me to help her breastfeed her toucan.  It

was more of a "spur of the moment" consult, not one that was booked in

advance, thus there was no time to think it was really a strange request.



 



The funny part was that I donned a glove and inserted my index finger into

its beak to assess the suck - which of course there was none!  The beak

chomped on my finger and I exclaimed how much THAT



would hurt!  :-)  The lady had a great supply and easily sprayed when

compressed.  She really wanted to try - so, what the heck!  To each his own,

huh!  :-)  I don't remember her at all, but I vividly remember the multiple

colors of the toucan's beak!  So, I kinda quickly pushed the toucan onto the

woman's breast - and a perfect beak/teat latch resulted!  The toucan did his

compressions and gulped away.  End of dream.



 



Bet a CLC couldn't do that!  I'M KIDDING!!!!  HAHAHA.  But the dream was

real!  Analyze that one!
