That is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. My son is now 13 months and looks like he’ll have to be removed from my breasts with a crowbar. I don’t mind. I love it! But sometimes people ask when I’m going to put an end to the nursing. I tell them when my son is old enough to ask for the car keys then no more nursing! Ask a stupid question…

My son weaned himself at about 20 or so months (he is now 7 going on 8). I used the child lead weaning process, which worked very naturally for both of us (& later w/my daughter although she weaned herself much sooner). He would only nurse when he thought to ask for it. Two months went by before he asked for “miwk” again. When he discovered nothing was coming out…he began pressing down on it as though there was a malfunction at the “factory,” then he looked up and sleepily said, “Mommy, turn it on.”

LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!!!! I am a crunchy mama of triplets + 2, and if you don’t mind I will be adding you to my blog!

I really wish I could have nursed the trio…but my body blew up after the c-section.

We use “nursing” and “milk” because I have an irrational aversion to baby talk. It was awfully silly when Sanna started playing Peek-a-Boo with my breasts. (”Where the milk go? Boo, milk! Boo!”)

“I’m coming, tissy!” is hilarious.

“I’m coming tissy!”

I say the same thing to Kate sometimes but she doesn’t think it’s nearly as cute.

I used to call it “boobies” with my older son, until I heard a radio show with a mom who did extended breastfeeding, and warned what would happen when the baby got older. (I didn’t have any breastfeeding friends, yet!) So, I changed the name, I forget to what, but he self weaned at 15 months anyway, so it wasn’t that big of a deal. With my younger son, we did the traditional “num nums”, and that worked just fine.

I’m coming tissy is adorable. I just taught them nurse here, but they both say something that sounds like “urse” so end up yelling “Mama urse!” or “more urse!” a lot.

I never breastfed past 18 months so none of them had a word for it…Max & Theo will probably be weaned soon, too. But i was thinking about this after you posted something previously — ’tissy’ is so cute! Is there a post or a thread somewhere with cute toddler words for nursing/breasts?

Mercifully by this age engorgement is a thing of the past. I would have to be gone ALL day for that to be an issue. It wasn’t one of my favorite parts of nursing to be sure.
