Vignettes of Nursing Humor IX
Great breastfeeding stories that will make you smile When my mom was expecting my little sister, my youngest brother was 4 years old and full of questions. As my mom planned to breastfeed, she hadn't prepared any bottles. Jake asked her where the bottles were, and she explained breastfeeding to him. Of course, his next question was how the baby was fed in mommy's tummy. Mom told him that there was a cord between mommy's tummy and baby's, and that's how the baby ate. About a week after Esther was born, her cord was just hanging by a thread, so mom just cut it off. Jake caught her. That night at the supper table, Jake started in on dad that mom had hurt his baby, and we had to take her back to the hospital so she could eat. (Mom was at the moment breastfeeding Esther at the table.) When dad asked what was the problem. Jake burst into tears, crying that mom had cut off his baby's EXTENSION cord, so she couldn't eat any more! We never laughed so hard ever again. Mary Harris This was just after my shower... I hadn't found a shirt yet - I was in the middle of changing (then 2.5 yr old) Stenson's bum when (then 8 month old) Cameron crawled up to me, got on his hands and knees and started nursing! I called my husband in and he held Cameron in a football hold (still nursing!) while I finished changing Sten's diaper. Once Stenson was changed HE crawled up to me and started nursing! (On hands and knees.) My husband and I got Cam into the cradle hold (still nursing!). Cameron took one look at Stenson and started laughing! It had been so long since they nursed at the same time that I'm not sure Stenson even remembered! (Stenson mostly nursed at bed/naptime, so I was not usually confronted like that.) Anyway, it was so cute I just HAD to share! My husband wouldn't take a picture... he said they wouldn't develop it... Nag-dabbit! Amanda My 2 1/2 year old would still like to nurse and nursed until he was 3. We call breastfeeding mimmers at our house. One day while I was lying with my son for a nap he said, "With you give me mimmers I'll give you money"! He has also told me, "I wish I was your boobies." When I asked why he replied, "Then I could have mimmers all the time." Carolyn Bigelow My daughter, Anna, (my fourth child out of eight) nursed for 31 months. Her son, Patrick, my first grandchild, nursed for 31 months. The summer that Patrick was 1 year old, my daughter made the mistake of wearing a "tube" top when she went grocery shopping. Patrick was sitting in the seat in the grocery cart, and when he decided he was hungry he pulled down her tube top. Needless to say, that finished the shopping trip. She headed for the check out having a tug of war with Patrick. He was trying to pull her tube top down and she was trying to keep it up. One day we were on the back porch enjoying the warm weather and a snack of homemade chocolate chip cookies. My youngest, Tarah, was 13 months at the time and still happily nursing. She came over to where I was sitting and told me in her 13 month old way that she was ready to nurse, so I pulled her up in my lap and she proceeded to nurse. Well, all of the sudden she pulls off and takes a bite from a cookie she was holding in her hand (which I did not notice was there!) and then latched back on and continued to nurse. She did this several times until the cookie was all gone and each time she would just laugh and smile. I couldn't help but laugh! Tarah was enjoying the BEST milk with her cookies! Felicia |
