As my social media sites have been filling with beautiful images and stories celebrating the connection of breastfeeding mothers around the world, I am reminded of so many of my own funny feeding moments from when my three boys were little…
The boys and I were standing in line at our local market on a busy Friday evening, waiting to check out. I leaned around Luke, who was less than a year old at the time, to help the bigger boys empty the cart onto the convauyer belt. With about a dozen customers standing behind us in line, Luke took full advantage of the opportunity. He pulled my breast right out of my v-neck t’shirt and tried to help himself to a snack! It got a good laugh from everyone, except Luke who quickly reminded us that he was still hungry.
What funny breastfeeding moments do you have to share?
Love it! I am still happily breastfeeding our youngest and last. Many, many a morning have I woken up with ‘hickies’ all over my breast where the little one really didn’t even care about the midnight snack, just wanted something to suck on!
hysterical! although around here I can only imagine the hairy eyeballs I would have gotten! the story that stands out most in my memory happened when nursing my oldest in front of my grandmother. I think he was two years old or so. she said, “he’s never gonna quit that, you’re going to have to go to school with him!” I laughed and said “that’s why we’re homeschooling!” of course he didn’t nurse nearly that long, and weaned all on his own when he was ready, just past his 4th birthday 🙂
