weaned toddler trying to suck
Hi All. Kai (now 21 mths) weaned himself at 17.5 months. Last night while we were in the bath he tried to have a little suck. He's very interested in the boobies at the moment as we're expecting no 2 in 13 wks, so I've been pointing out women who are breast feeding and trying to get him used to what is going to happen.
I know I didn't react very well....I pulled away and said "no, no, the boobies are for babies". He didn't seem too concerned, just carried on examining them.
I don't really know how to handle it. I know I'm a bit of a prude, and I know it's strange that I was happy for him to suck on them a few months ago, but it just feels wierd. On the other hand, I don't want him to feel left out or anything. And if BBC2 likes to feed as much as he did, I'll be doing a lot of it! What are your thoughts/experiences?
Thanks!
