Vignettes of Nursing Humor XVIII
Humorous Nursing Tales My sister is a stay-at-home breastfeeding mom to three children ages 5, 3 and 1. In telling her 5-year-old her plans to go out for dinner one evening, she thought she would have some fun with her and tell her she wouldn't be home that night and she might need to help her Dad in the middle of the night with the baby. She said "Now if Rebekah wakes up, you'll be able to give her a bottle, right?" ( Of course baby Rebekah does not take a bottle.) Little Kate said "Well, I don't think she'll take a bottle, and my nipples aren't big enough!" To verify this statement, she proceeded to look down her shirt and pronounced "Nope, they're definitely not big enough Mom!" -Kate I am currently nursing my 3 month daughter, our third child. Yesterday evening she started to fuss, my very precocious three year old quickly shouted, "Mom, take off your shirt, the baby is crying!" Also... My five year old son can be very impatient and grows tired of hearing "wait until I finish feeding your sister". Last week he came running up to me as I was nursing and asked for something. I told him to wait, he looked down at her and asked "well, is she almost done, or does she still have to eat the other side?" - Chaknis I was in the mother's room at my local Shopping Center feeding my second child who was a couple of months old, when my daughter then aged 3 years starts staring intently at a olive skinned woman across the room who was also feeding her baby. I am quite fair skinned and my nipples are a light pink color and the woman across the room being olive had very dark brown nipples. This must have been quite a shock for my young daughter as all of a sudden at the top of her voice she yells "Oh Mummy, look at that woman's dirty boobs, oh yuk!". I was very embarrassed but at the same time I could not stop laughing. Thankfully the woman also saw the humor in it. -Nadine My mother stayed with my husband and I for the first week after the birth of our daughter. It was our first child so I was learning how to breastfeed and my mother was a wonderful support. I was drinking water all of the time and took a large glass to place beside my bed for when I was thirsty during the night. One night, I emptied the glass in the middle of the night and sent my husband for a refill. The next morning, my mother came into the room and immediately started laughing. She picked up the glass and asked about the "coaster" that my husband had set the glass on...the nursing pads that I had set aside as I fed my daughter! - Amber I am a mother of 4 daughters and I breastfed each one. Last year when my last daughter was only 2 weeks old I was nursing her in the Living room. It was around breakfast time so my 4 year old said she was hungry and wanted some cereal. I asked her to hold on till I was done, but most mothers know a 4 year old can be very anxious. So as I was feeding the baby I remembered there was not very much milk in the gallon jug, so I told my 4 year old that yes she could pour some milk into her cup because there was not too much in it. So she preceded to do that. When she was done she brought the jug over to me and asked" Mom, can you fill it up with milk?". I said no Hun we need to go to the store. Then she precedes to say "no mom. fill it up with your boob". I could not quit laughing, she was so serious and could not understand what was so funny. See my girls think it is the norm for a woman to breastfeed their babies. I hope they grow to realize the importance of it. -Tiffany |
