Just something cute and interesting: I have a 2 year old daughter who was breastfed until she weaned at 9 months and I am now 32 years old. She has seen alot of bottlefed babies in her toddler years and has not seen alot of breastfeeding mothers. Because I am a big advocate of breastfeeding I try to teach her about breastfeeding on a child's level, such as holding the doll close to the chest. When she refers to feeding her baby I tell her that babies only drink milk. To no surprise she has tried to bf her dolls :) I am currently an intern to be a Lactation Consultant so of course there is alot of things in my house that are related to breastfeeding such as books, and a calendar. I talk about breastfeeding on the phone and with family, friends and other people. My daughter watches breastfeeding mothers with great interest. Ever since she observed and was educated about breastfeeding she will ask me to feed her, which she refers to as "eating nipple," whenever she is near my chest at all. I tell her that I can't because I don't have any more milk and it's all dried up. I always laugh but wonder can I relactate?! :) Claudine Delaney, CLC *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
