My third (and last) child nursed over 2 years.  Around 22 months, he began
calling them "nurse-a-whiles", because I would call to him saying, "Andy, do
you want to nurse a while?"

My friend nursing a 3 y/o said hers called her breasts "bite" - she would
ask if he wanted a "bite to eat".

Another friend's child calls breasts "chi-chi's"  I think it is a spanish
slang word for breasts, like our tits.
