I also used my boob to lure LO away from our entertainment unit a few weeks ago..... it worked! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-685019 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:37:51 +0000 hellobeeboston 685019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So interesting!! Thanks for sharing!!</p> <p>the thought of leaving some breast milk in the fridge for DH as a "treat" is hilarious!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-685013 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:36:27 +0000 MrsH 685013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very interesting read, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-684971 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:23:13 +0000 pinkcupcake 684971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome article, @mediagirl:!! </p> <p>I'm sooo guilty of using the boob distraction ! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-684932 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:13:31 +0000 sarac 684932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved this so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-684011 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:29:55 +0000 Mrs. Twine 684011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://m.guardiannews.com/society/2005/jun/15/childrensservices.familyandrelationships" rel="nofollow">http://m.guardiannews.com/society/2005/jun/15/childrensservices.familyandrelationships</a> For some more horizon-broadening. I have read about this/seen this elsewhere. It is legitimate. I think it's very fascinating and makes quite a lot of sense, but again, also something that is culturally different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-684010 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:29:37 +0000 mrskc 684010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't seen this before! Loved it. Thanks for sharing. I love how she described BFing as the lazy mom's secret weapon. That's my go to way of getting my babe to stop crying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-684006 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:28:36 +0000 skibobrown 684006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. So interesting! I followed at least one Mongolian trait w/ my breastmilk. I rubbed some on DD's eyes every morning when she was little and had blocked tear ducts. They cleared up on their own, so maybe it helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-683980 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:19:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 683980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! What a great article. I'm glad to hear a perspective that broadens even my horizons on breast feeding. It was interesting to see myself recoil at the idea of grandmothers offering a breast. I wonder what tht says about me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-683973 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:17:38 +0000 Mrs. Bee 683973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that was really interesting! thanks so much for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-683943 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:08:50 +0000 littlebittyhouse 683943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've read this before but i really love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-683924 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:01:37 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 683924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great article! I literally LOL'd at work while reading the part about lifting her shirt for argument resolution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-683907 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:56:42 +0000 Freckles 683907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, i remember reading this article a while ago and LOVED it. </p> <p>You know what? One day she was getting into mischief, and i needed to get her away from a certain corner, so i flipped up my shirt and starting shaking my boobs. Yes, it sounds ridiculous but it worked! She scrambled over to me and forgot about god knows what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-683903 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:54:55 +0000 heartonastring 683903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I almost posted this link on the thread the other day about BFing after the age of two :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-683888 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:50:24 +0000 Mrs. Twine 683888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! This is one of the articles that I found very reassuring. Also the origin of my adult nursing story. Thanks for resurrecting this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-683887 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:50:06 +0000 mediagirl 683887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: can you imagine? Whipping your boobs out (all the women doing this???) and the kids stop fighting? Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-683881 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:48:53 +0000 runsyellowlites 683881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMGosh that was fantastic!!! I love how they separate breastfeeding from dependence, such a big thing here... "Be careful or you'll be breastfeeding them between college classes..." I also love how they use it during disagreement between children, I think another mom might die if I did that during a play date! Bwahaha!</p> <p>Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-in-mongolia#post-683801 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:24:49 +0000 mediagirl 683801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I understand this article is a little over a year old but it is really interesting. Someone I follow on Twitter posted it today and I really enjoyed reading it:</p> <p><a href="http://www.incultureparent.com/2011/02/breastfeeding-land-genghis-khan/" rel="nofollow">http://www.incultureparent.com/2011/02/breastfeeding-land-genghis-khan/</a> </p>
