Mine did that and it was one of my favorite times. He now gives me raspberries (on purpose). He also constantly plays with the other side. Ugh I hate that but it calms him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305471 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:21:41 +0000 Mrs. Train 305471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby blows raspberries while she's eating then laughs hysterically. It's so irritating and cute at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305467 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:19:37 +0000 DillonLion 305467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agh, cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305459 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:17:28 +0000 regberadaisy 305459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and I love it! But you're right it makes for a long session then I feel bad that I'm "ignoring" her during one on one time. Vicious cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305455 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:13:38 +0000 mediagirl 305455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: YES me too! If I start talking, she looks at me like, why are you disturbing me??</p> <p>@Sammyfab: we haven't gotten there yet. She doesn't "see" dh the same way she does me yet. He doesn't get the same smiles or anything ....yet!</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: she's 14, going on 15 weeks. She is starting to communicate with us and it's just so wonderful!!</p> <p>@Mrsbells: Aw, I love that she gets the serious face on when she's hungry! Her nails are always sharp whether I have just cut them or not, too. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305451 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:11:42 +0000 lisa1783 305451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sammyfab: My LO does the same thing when he looks at my DH and then it feels like I'm breaking his neck when I try to get him to turn his head back. Unless, of course, when I give up and cover up again does he turn back and try to burrow his face through my clothing while looking at me reproachfully like "hey, I wasn't done!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305450 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:10:08 +0000 Mrsbells 305450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO does the same thing when Dh walks in or if the tv comes on or my phone rings. She is just too easily distracted </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305436 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:02:54 +0000 mrsjazz 305436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I also can't talk to anyone while I breastfeed. She pulls off and stares at me and then at the person I'm talking to (usually DH or our nanny) so it's quiet time during feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305429 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:01:05 +0000 Sammyfab 305429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO does this too and it's so sweet!! If I make any eye contact with him at all his whole face lights up.</p> <p>When my DH walks into the room then my LO will unlatch and turn his head so he can smile at his dad. That gets super frustrating because it takes a lot of effort to get him to turn around and re-latch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305428 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:00:56 +0000 Mrsbells 305428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: and her nails are so sharp! no matter how I trim them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305424 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:59:57 +0000 loveisstrange 305424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah, C does this. :) Cutest, most frustrating thing EVER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305423 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:59:56 +0000 mrsjazz 305423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Yes. It is the cutest thing ever. She usually does this towards the end of a feed, though.</p> <p>@Mrsbells: The pinching/scratching thing is horrible! I get so red from her doing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305420 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:58:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 305420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww how sweet! How old is she? When they start "communicating" with the world around them they get distracted very easily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305418 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:58:01 +0000 Mrsbells 305418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So cute! My LO does this but only if she isnt hungry. if she is hungry, she will get a very serious look on her face and focus all her attention on eating and pinching/scratching me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartwarmingfrustrating-breastfeeding-milestone#post-305410 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:52:45 +0000 mediagirl 305410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse M when I'm home so on weekdays it's one time in the evening before bed and one time in the morning before I leave. Also whenever she's hungry overnight.</p> <p>When she's wide awake, she has started this thing where she will be eating, then she'll make eye contact with me. As soon as she makes eye contact she will open her mouth really wide (with my boob still in her mouth) to smile and gurgle at me. OMG it is the CUTEST THING EVER. It just makes my heart swell every single time she does it. I'm not sure if she does it when she's eating from the bottle.</p> <p>But.... now it takes like an hour to feed her when she's awake because she keeps doing it! I have to try to look away from her while she is eating so we can get the job done in time for me to leave for work. :)</p> <p>Has your lo gone through this? Isn't it just the most awesome thing ever/completely frustrating? :) </p>
