A proud day for nursing women everywhere--train 'em young.

Just had to share this grandma type story. My daughter has nursed all three of her kids--the youngest of which is 4 mos. old. Well, yesterday, her 2-yr.-old daughter was playing with her favorite dolly. She's into her dollies now since she's busy being Mommy #2 now. Anyway, they were waiting for my grandson to get out of school when my little miss announced that her baby was hungry and immediately whipped up her t-shirt and started to nurse her dolly. I told my daughter some of the reactions that people have to nursing on this board sometimes but I wanted to share this story too. She reassured me that our girl had her undershirt on and she would have nothing to do with the doll bottle instead. Offering as a rejoinder to the doll bottle simply that "my baby is hungry."

Wish I'd been there.

I nursed both of my kids as long as I was able to (about 9 months for both of them)

:applause:

LeftyKid used to bring me his stuffed toys to "nurt." I've found few things funnier than trying to have an adult conversation while pretending to nurse a stuffed teletubby. :eyes:

That's a great story! Nursing a teletubby could sure start a Falwell stroke.

The woman that has taken care of her the past few months during the daytime is breastfeeding her now 4 or 5 month old son...
