As a mother of three and having breastfed for oh, about, 47
months total, and still counting, I can honestly say that
no breastfeeding baby has the same style. Breastfeeding is
a relationship that builds and grows and changes, as the
baby's needs change. So what kinds of breastfed babies
have you seen?

1) The Connoisseur: a gourmand that simply adores your
yummy milk, this baby sees you as food first, and boy, are
you delicious. The Connoisseur will nurse noisily, making
many yummy, "umm" sounds. A true connoisseur will also
lick his lips when you walk into sight.

2)The DJ: This baby loves rhythm and she will slap and
drum your breast in time to any sound. She will kick and
dance with her little feet. The DJ also loves to "tune
the radio" (play with your other nipple) as she nurses.

3)The Comedian: Avoid to much eye contact with this
little one as he will crack up with laughter and crack you
up. The comedian loves a good joke and will happily grin
at you around a milky nipple. So be willing to re-latch...
often!

4)The Scientist: This little one sees nursing as an
opportunity to closely study the human subject that
provides her with food. The Scientist will take a close
and studious look at your skin, hair, eyes, up your nose
and at her own hands. She is ever learning.

5)The Little Monkey: The Little Monkey is in touch with
his primate side. He clings to your shoulder, skin and
hair. He loves to curl his monkey toes into your body, and
loves to be carried. The Little Monkey will happily nurse
in any position, because he is built to cling.

6)The Super Star: The Super Star sees nursing as a
wonderful show. She enjoys it so much, she wants to share
it with the world. She will not stand for any kind of
blanket or shawl covering her up, and she'll just complain
if you try. The Super Star loves to sing and dance as she
nurses and will hum and kick. Relax and enjoy the show!

Every baby and every mom is a different creature. Find a
way to enjoy your nursing relationship. Find the beauty
and humour in your shared experience. She'll grow up
faster that you'd expect. Treasure this time for the
magical time that it is.
