Early Breastfeeding Education

The beauty of breastfeeding has been implanted into JS’s young mind. It seems to be a norm thing to her and part of our daily routine now after seeing me breastfed WH for so long.

Some days I caught her doing this to her dolly:
Pulling up her shirt and attempt to breastfeed dolly. She would say” dolly, you hungry? I give you nen nen”

When WH rolling on the bed, she would also go to WH, pull up her shirt, try to pull WH over to her chest and say ” didi, you want nen nen?? I give you nen nen” WH will struggle away from her hug and shaking his head.

I also caught her saying this to WH “WH you big boy now. No more nen nen. Go drink milk and sleep by yourself. No need mummy’s nen nen”

Now when she wants me to sleep with her at night, she doesn’t say “come and sleep with me mummy.” Instead she would say “mummy, didi finish nen nen or not?” “Mummy, is didi sleeping already, still drinking nen nen? After didi finish you come huh.”

There was one night, I was nursing WH to sleep but at the same time I closed my eyes resting. JS didn’t see me nursing baby, she only saw WH moving around not sleeping, so she said to me “mummy, don’t sleep. Give didi nen nen , he’s not sleeping yet”
