Since I wrote a list of things that I have done while breastfeeding, I figured I would share a list of things my baby does:
- Smack my boob
- Laugh at my boob (I am not really sure why, as I have never had this reaction to my boobs before. Maybe he is just remembering something funny he heard earlier?)
- Talk while he eats (Sometimes he stops eating to talk, but other times he just chats on my boob.)
- Scratch my side
- Cry because he is hungry but he has stopped eating (He did this voluntarily and then apparently had a deep feeling of regret about it, but not enough regret to continue eating again.)
- Burp on my boob, or worse – directly into my mouth
- Try to pull my shirt over his face
- Try to eat my bra
- Try to hold my hand
- Hold his own hands
- Get a mouthful of milk, then open his mouth to smile at me. The milk spills all over us. So now we are soaking wet, but darn it, he’s so cute.
- Crank his head to look around, flashing my nipple to everyone (Hey, maybe this is why he is laughing!)
- Kick me
- Reach up to feel my face
- Smack my windpipe (To make me appreciate breathing more?)
- Pee on me
- Poop on me
- Grab his ears
- Rub his forehead
- Fix his hair
- Twist around, stretch and try to roll
- Rub his eyes (Because eating is exhausting!)
- Eat only from one side and then ignore the other side (I am beginning to think he is just messing with me…)
- Actually eat the milk
- Oh, and this:
