“All your extended breastfeeding questions answered” in Essential Baby by me.
When my son began talking to my breasts (“breastfeedings” he called them, in case you were wondering), he was being so sincere and sad I did not know what to do. Should my breasts be answering him? It seems rude to remain indifferent to someone sharing the most tragic moment of their life with you. I mean, my breasts aren’t cold-hearted. And if my breasts answered him then should they have my voice, which may take you out of the moment? Or should they have a unique voice of their own – in which case, what does a breast’s voice sound like?

Loved this so much. My 3 year old son calls my breasts as ‘his breastfeeds,’ and while I’m looking forward to saying goodbye to breastfeeding, I’m not in a particular rush either. We’ve been talking at length about breastfeeding coming to an end sometime in the near future, and the other morning he started at my breasts and said he could ‘grow one of those’ when I had no more milk. Good luck with that!
