Milk Monster

‎In the spirit of my previous post, I went through and pulled all her funny breastfeeding quotes (as well as my observations) for posterity.  These were posted on my BestMilk Bistro page and go from most recent on down.  Enjoy!  (She obviously does!):

 

"Mommy, I am ferocious for milk!" says my almost 4 year-old tonight. She also announced to me earlier that she found the "greatest age" to be done with milk. In case your wondering, it is 6. Because "4 year-olds still need to drink milk, Mom." (1/24/11)

"Mommy, you are not breastfeeding me! You are just giving me milk." (a random observation this morning said with the sweetest little grin you ever did see!) (12/10/10)

 

My daughter was struggling and groping at the breast tonight and I asked her if there was milk coming out. She nods and says, "but Mommy, it is far far away from me." :) (12/3/10)

 

My daughter told me this morning, "Mommy, you are my home." How sweet is that? (11/7/10)

 

"Mommy, why do I get milk? Because you love me?" "Yes, sweetheart. I was wondering when you think you will be ready to stop having milk?" "Oh. When I am bigger, like you." Maybe I will be going to college with her :) (9/20/20)

 

After 3.5 years of nursing, tonight my daughter points to my right breast and says, "Mom, that one is the best side." And when I ask her about the left, she responds, "That one is the saltiest." Apparently, on the right side there is more milk that comes out much easier and tastes more "cherry". Oh, the things a nursling can tell you when they are old enough!!! What valuable info! (9/11/10)

 

"I like your milk, mom, because I love it! Thank you for giving me milk!" ~ No benefits to nursing a kiddo that can talk?!? Whatever. (5/16/10)

 

Before the surgery, we had only been nursing in the morning and at night. I told her she could have my milk during the day to help her feel better after her operation. So when I asked her if she wanted some milk, Em replies, "Oh! The Breastfeeding milk?" What? I never heard that before! She is so funny!... (3/30/10)

 

My daughter had her tonsils and adenoids out yesterday and the first and only thing she wanted was Mommy Milk! Thank goodness I am still nursing! Now she is eating and drinking like a champ. What a gift! (3/30/10)

 

Officially celebrating 3 years of Breastfeeding today! Em and I are a great team! Happy Birthday, baby girl! (3/27/10)

 

I want to shake my shamrocks today but I think it now has an entirely different meaning, especially to a breastfeeding mother and child! (3/17/10)

 

My daughter, to me, while snuggling in bed this morning: "Mommy, your breast-es are WARM!" Another benefit of nursing during these COLD days/nights! Brrr! (1/6/10)

 

My daughter had her feet on my breasts while I was changing her diaper. She said, "I'm protecting your breasts, Mommy." Me, "Oh? Why?" She replied, "I'm supposed to drink milk out of them!" Yes, yes you are, my sweet girl! (12/29/09)

 

Tonight, as my Emmy was nursing, she was looking up at me lovingly and caressing my face. She said: "Mommy, you are my best girl in all the world!" Awww! Of course, I teared up! (12/17/09)
