In spite of snow today, 17 moms and 17 babies and two grandmothers came to
group, babies ranged in age from 2weeks to 8.5 months.

During group, a few moms started to encourage one mom to show us "Slurpieman"
(pronounced slurpeeman).

The mom stood up and showed us what her husband does/says as he is bringing
their 4 month old to her for a feeding. The dad holds the baby in the flying
airplane position (prone with one of his hands under the front diaper area
holding one leg and the other hand under the baby's chest, holding an arm
also) baby has his head up, arms and legs outstretched, and with the
appropriate animated sound effects, dad proclaims:

"More powerful than a hospital grade breastpump,
Faster than the letdown reflex,
Able to leap two breast in a single bound,
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's..........
Slurpieman!!!!!!"

as dad flys/guides the baby into a well positioned landing at breast.

I need a video of that :-)
