Have you given your “girls” a nickname? Does your nursling have a special name for your breasts? My breasts — and I am sure the world really needs to know this — are called “mum-mums” (interestingly, the same as the name for nursing, “mum-mum,” while the breast milk is […]
When my newborn was two days old, my six-year-old came to sit next to me on the bed and asked conversationally, “Is baby nursing well? Does she like it? She’s a funny baby. At first she won’t latch on and then you have to get her on and then she nurses and likes it.”

Me: Ooh, my hip hurts!
Me2: And my arm is asleep!
Me3: And I have to go the bathroom!

She stated with great certainty, “The baby will sleep.” (I hope better than you did, sweetie!) I know I cannot […]
Welcome to the latest Carnival of Breastfeeding: What’s so funny about breastfeeding? Breastfeeding humor is one of my favorite topics. In the past I have had a lot of fun with the silly search engine terms people use to end up at Breastfeeding 1-2-3. Time for another installment! For more breastfeeding funnies, check out the […]
In my house, breasts are called “mum-mums” or, well, “breasts.” So I am not sure where my 3-year-old came up with this one (although we already know she has a knack for mixing up words).
My daughter was dancing around the room, possibly even “shaking her booty.” When she wanted me join in, she commanded, […]
