Guest guest Posted November 21, 1999 Report Share Posted November 21, 1999 We always used " nummies " but she never actually said it. Last week she came up with her own name " mum-mum's " either one is pretty discreet. I have a girlfriend whose dh taught their daughter to call it " boobies " and she uses the word lol Our son calls it " mummy-nummies " he always asks our daughter if she wants some " mummie-nummies " when she's bugging him lol Michele, mom of Arran 12-27-93 and Keely Paige 12-5-97 #3 EDD 3-13-00 It's a BOY!

Guest guest Posted November 22, 1999 Report Share Posted November 22, 1999 My son said his own version of nursing which sounded like nusin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 1999 Report Share Posted November 22, 1999 Chelly, Funny you should ask this. I was refering to nursing as titty and ended up getting quite a bit of flak about it. Mainly online but some in person. I didn't care but at the same time my son started talking and ended up making up his own term and ever since has referred to it as " tea " you know as in hot tea. LOL Usually what you refer to it as is what they will call it so name nursing carefully. They start talking quicker than you can imagine. Wendi http://www.lactivist.com breastfeeding info Code word From: TrentonsMom@... I am just interested to know if any of you are using a code word for breastfeeding, you know so the little one doesn't ask out loud in pubic and embarrass. My little guy is only 3 months old, and I already refer to BF as Titties (pretty obvious what that means) I am wondering if I should change this now, although I don't think I would find it embarrassing if he asked me for Titties in public, but perhaps there is a better word out there, and I would rather start using it now!

Guest guest Posted November 22, 1999 Report Share Posted November 22, 1999 Jen, On the same note you should see the look on people's faces when my son asks for " tea pwees mama " and just when everyone is thinking " oh how cute he drinks tea " I lift my shirt. That always gets them. LOL Wendi http://www.lactivist.com breastfeeding info Re: Code word With my first, the word was " titty " .
