I was recently reading this article in the New York Times about the need for parents to talk to their young children, and I was nodding along until I came to a screeching halt at this paragraph:
If we held a toddler to this standard, they would all be tottering around saying, or at least trying to say, "Mother, I would like to breastfeed now."
I think that the baby names that kids come up with for nursing are really cute, and often funny. My son used to call breasts "mimi's." And then nursing became "other mimi" (which came out "uddy mimi") because the treat was always the "other side." Can you blame a kid for focusing on dessert?
So, please tell me what your children call nursing. Can't wait to hear.
