Empty (.)(.) ....can they tell???


Do you think your boobie babies can tell when your boobs are getting empty?

I know mine never truely empty but Heebs has started spitting my boob out after a while and when I try to reattach her, she messes about and sticks her tongue out and wont latch. Yet when I swop boobs, she's straight on!!

Can she tell there's more on offer on the other side???

Great use of punctation!

Poppy does this too. She has just started playing with the nipple...spitting it out, sucking it back in like a stand of spaghetti, then spitting it back out again, looking up and me and smiling! Then when I put her on the other one, she goes at it like she is ravenous.

They must know as the flow undoubtedly gets slower as they come to the end?

I have quite 'long' nipples which are great for BFing (not so great on a cold day :winkwink) but whne she's messing she totally does the spagetti thing!! x

at 'like a strand of spaghetti'

She's probably just a bit frustrated at the slower flow and having to work a bit harder for her food. Sam used to be the same but got used to it x

Yeah i can agree when the flow is getting slower my baby can feel frustrated and want another boob. And made spaghetti from my nipple too . I gave up usually and gave him what he wants ))). Luckily it doesn't happened very often.
