DH thought it was gross, I thought it was a good idea

Hey,

Thanks for reminding me!! There was a thread like this ages back and I thought when we have another I might try this with ds1 (he was only bf until 7/8weeks and that wasn't exclusively)

I have showed him by hand expressing which he finds hilarious and tried to express me. I did this so he would understand breast feeding an wouldnt get jealous when feeding ds2. Sometimes when Spence is crying he'll come point to my chest and say milk milk. I have asked him if he wants some and he just shakes his head! I really dont think he would have the skill to attach and feed even if he wanted to. I will have to express and see give him some.

My DH had a taste with ds1 dont think with ds2 2 though and I have tried a little both times, Phil wont try it again cause its a "bodily fluid" lol and I say but you'll drink milk aut of a cows boob lol he knows but it \s just a mental thing really I'M PRETTY SURE HE WOULD BE FINE WITH nOAH HAVING SOME IN A CUP, HE MADE THE COMMENT THE OTHER DAY, WHY DONT U TRY ATTACHING nOAH

Not gross at all! Oskar sometimes asks for "pa" as he calls boobie but he's lost the know how of attaching and sucking. I didn't realise they lost that!! Anyway, I haven't tried EBM but maybe I should...lol if I can be bothered trying to express - not very successful event for me. I'll ask DH later what he thinks of it and come back and let you know.
