My little guy (age 3+) still refers to nursing as "un." I think this comes
from when he was a baby and used to say "unchie, unchie" when he wanted to
nurse -- maybe he was trying to say "hungry?" His word for cup became
"untch" and nursing was simply "un."
Of course, in the last 2 weeks, he's taken to saying "I need breastmilk!" I
have a secret hope that he'll keep saying this...my baby will hopefully come
in the next 2 weeks, my mother-in-law a few weeks after that...and hearing
her 3+ year-old grandson asking for breastmilk by name will give her
something to chew on! :)
--Diana in NY (whose mother-in-law was just horrified when I was tandem
nursing my then-almost 2-year old daughter and her newborn brother...my
daughter swore off all solids and gained 5 lbs. in the 2 months between her
brother being born and her 2nd birthday!)
