Makes me remember how my (now 21 y/o) son would identify "his" breasts
(actually mine).  He would point and  call them "this nursawhile" and "that
nursawhile"  because I would always say - Andy, do you wanna nurse a while?
 Very verbal 2 yr old.  Weaned himself at 2 yrs 3 mo.  Fond memories.

BTW, I never made more than a few drops of milk on my left side.  At 4 mo
he weighed 18 lb on (basically) one breast.  Just stuffed a sock in the
other side.  : - )
