I do feel guilt about not giving DH bottles but maybe I'm too selfish to want to give up even one nursing session :( I love that time with her and know ill miss it when she weans :(</p> <p>Re side-lying, I don't get how that works with burping. If I don't burp LO she squirms until she spits up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-448229 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 22:18:53 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 448229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread has me tearing up! Guess there are still some postpartum hormones lurking around. :) Love all the things everyone has mentioned. One of my favorites is when he flings his head back and forth at lighting speed like a little blind bat trying to latch on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-448223 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 22:14:35 +0000 immabeetoo 448223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loving all the responses- warm fuzzy feelings all around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-448210 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 22:03:27 +0000 Bao 448210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love everything about breastfeeding! Seriously, its the best decision I've made in a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-448204 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 21:57:18 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 448204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love when she falls asleep in my arms, she's just so sweet. It's pretty much the only time she holds still! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-448193 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 21:41:15 +0000 Penny Lane 448193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love how it looks like he's hugging the boob while he's eating. </p> <p>I love how it doesn't hurt anymore! It took a long time!</p> <p>But my favourite... His eating noises and eating smiles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-448175 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 21:24:17 +0000 prettylizy 448175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the game we play, she reaches for my mouth and I nibble her fingers, then she fiddles with my bottom teeth and lip. This is also how I know when it's time to trim her nails! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-448173 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 21:20:55 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 448173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love when, during the day, LO pops off and gives me a huge milky drunk smile with some drops still running down his face. I love how he's started to explore my face with his hand while he nurses. I love when he grabs onto my finger or hand or shirt and grips it so tightly while he nurses. And, my favorite, I love nursing him to sleep - when he cuddles up to me so closely and, once he finally falls asleep, pops off and rests his head against me as he sleeps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447885 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 18:16:21 +0000 autumnlove 447885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved her smug smile when she was full after nursing. I miss that face! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447880 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 18:13:15 +0000 sera_87 447880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when he holds my finger &amp; calms right down when he's upset...&amp; while we're side-nursing, when he finishes he uses my breast as a pillow &amp; we both can doze off.</p> <p>@scg00387: seriously, try it! its pretty great....some days i think it totally saved my relationship with breastfeeding (and my back!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447862 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 18:01:08 +0000 Kemma 447862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that after eight long weeks we're finally now feeding pain free!</p> <p>Apart from that I love the overwhelming feeling of love and emotion I get when I'm feeding LO in the middle of the night, it's such a cliche but it almost makes me want to burst :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447304 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:20:51 +0000 MamaMoose 447304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: LO does this with my hubs too! It really soothes her. The other night she was really fussy and the only way she would stop crying was when hubs held her and stared right in her eyes. So sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447295 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:13:51 +0000 mediagirl 447295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love how, when my husband feeds her from a bottle, she stares into his eyes the whole time she's eating. It warms my heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447294 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:13:35 +0000 mrskc 447294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So much I love about it! I love when he pops off and uses my breast as a pillow, the way he grips the strap of my nursing tank, the way we can both doze off for an hour or more when I nurse him in the side lying position. I love stroking the back of his head. I love when he is upset and the way he calms as soon as I put him to the breast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447276 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:57:21 +0000 Running Elley 447276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had a few really great feeds where Elliot will pull off in the middle and just smile at me and it warms my heart!! I also love how his hand is always moving while he's latched on- petting my face, grabbing my hair, pounding my boob... It's just so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447271 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:54:02 +0000 sarac 447271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I adore nursing my toddler because she gets so excited about it. She cries BOOOOOOOO!!!!! like it's the greatest thing in her little world. And it's about the only snuggling I get from her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447267 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:49:47 +0000 MamaMoose 447267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooove when she dead locks eyes with me after she latches on. I swear it's like she's trying to say "oh mommy, thank you so much for this boob!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447257 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:42:07 +0000 lovehoneybee 447257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: It's my favorite way to nurse him...I find it very relaxing. Half the time I fall asleep too! (We co-sleep about half the night, so I'm fine with that.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447254 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:39:21 +0000 immabeetoo 447254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I love petting his head too!@FutureMrsMcK: I want to try side laying for some reason it intimidates me but sounds so cozy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447244 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:32:12 +0000 lovehoneybee 447244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love nursing him to sleep at night. I nurse him lying on my side in our bed with him either fully on his side facing me or splayed out on his back with just his head facing me.</p> <p>Anyway, I don't bring any electronics into the bed with us--I just take the time to unwind and relax and focus on just him. My favorite part is after he's asleep but has still been suckling...he pulls off and rests his head on my breast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447229 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:26:42 +0000 hilsy85 447229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The milk drunk face he makes after he's done sometimes...and I love petting his head while he's eating. And that his poop (usually) smells sweet, not stinky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-about-feeding-your-baby#post-447222 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:23:27 +0000 immabeetoo 447222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want this to be breast v. Bottle - but what do you love about feeding! (No matter how you do it) </p> <p>We're breastfeeding (2weeks old) and I love that his spit up doesn't stink, when he balls up his little fists on either side of my boob like he's pounding on the dinner table, and that I don't have to worry about packing or washing anything while we move this weekend. </p>
