He slapped him on the head a couple of times but than got used to it. First 2 months was hard on the poor guy but now he absolutely loves his brother and is very protective of him at 6 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1851474 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 06:56:01 +0000 Amelieisme 1851474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's are 20 months apart. Mostly doesn't show interest. One time he said "I wanna bite" and tried to expose my other breast, but took "no" for an answer without fussing. He mostly just makes sucky faces and says "baby eat"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1851473 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 06:53:15 +0000 LemonLong 1851473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was 21 months, she wasn't that interested. Every once in awhile she would sit next to us and rest her cheek on the other breast and a couple of times she lifted her shirt and tried to stick a nursing pad on her chest, but that's it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1851467 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 06:35:20 +0000 mynoahbear 1851467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD#1 was 2 yo when DD#2 was born. She watched closely for the first day, and then started getting her baby doll and would sit next to us and "breast feed" her doll. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1851441 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 04:24:47 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1851441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our oldest will be 3 next month. She understands that my breasts make milk and the baby can only drink milk. </p> <p>She says "that baby eats my moms boob!"</p> <p>She asked my mom if the baby will eat her (my moms) boob, too, or she'll want sissys (Chloe's) boob. We've had to explain she doesn't make any milk but can when she is a mommy!</p> <p>She seems fascinated by it and sometimes likes to snuggle with us while little sis eats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1793433 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 04:16:11 +0000 Ree723 1793433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 just watched us intently for the first few weeks and then lost interest (she was 19 months old). In the past month or so, at 24-25 months, whenever DD2 cries, she'll come and grab my hand, take me to DD2 and say milk! Milk! She's also started bringing her monkey lovey over to me, pulling on my shirt and trying to stuff monkey in my shirt saying milk! Monkey milk! I guess she wants me to BF her lovey?! Lol, it's pretty hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1793385 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 00:36:30 +0000 HabesBabe 1793385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sungirl: this is my daughter exactly! She and Baby bro are 22 months apart, so she doesn't really care. However, she seems to only ask for "hug?" when she sees me taking out the Brest Friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1793158 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 20:41:30 +0000 mamimami 1793158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had been weaned for maybe 4 or 5 months and he started nursing again when his sister was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1793150 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 20:38:40 +0000 sungirl 1793150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older DS (21 mos when baby came) hasn't really paid attention to the actual nursing but is more bothered by the fact I can't play with him </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1793037 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 19:49:06 +0000 birdofafeather 1793037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MadMama: ha! so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1792758 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 18:10:29 +0000 Applesandbananas 1792758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a second LO but my young nephew was extremely intrigued.

She also understands that she doesn't have milk in her boobies.<br /> She was once drinking her own milk in a cup and while little sister was nursing, she raised her cup to my boob and said cheers! She also likes to help me get the pump ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1792680 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 17:10:30 +0000 Jruess 1792680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering about this also. My DD will be 18 months when LO #2 is here. I wasn't planning on weaning early but now can't decide what to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1792592 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:35:12 +0000 Bao 1792592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She would jokingly come close and make the same noises as E nursing, it was pretty funny actually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-toddler-react-to-you-breastfeeding#post-1792545 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:13:06 +0000 stargal 1792545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm curious to see how P will react to it. did your toddler try to breastfeed because the baby was doing it? did they show absolutely no interest and it was no big deal? </p>
