'Asking' for the breast
« on: October 10, 2013, 19:07:59 pm »
Only this last week Corey has started actually asking to nurse :)

Over the last few months his nursing was getting less and less and I actually thought he was going to wean (I didn't want him to) but these last few days he's been pulling down my top and head butting my boobs! Haha! Today alone he asked about 4 times which is an improvement from the one feed we were at only a few weeks ago :)

My supply seem pretty low but I'm assuming that as he nurses more it will increase to cope with demand? Even at this age? I'll try and drink plenty of water, that's my downfall I think!

Yep. Even at nearly two years old, extra feeding sessions stimulate supply. A mother's body is a wonderful thing.

LO2 has started this as well.  She does it as a general hungry sign as well as a feeding sign.  In the past week she's combined it with a new big loud voice calling 'MAAAAAM-MEEEEEEEE'.  :)
