Hello Islander, Happy Birthday (belated) I hope it was wonderful for you!
And hey you warmslide- you hottie.... Hi!!
 
Islander must protect us from terrorists exloding our nipples, and sapping and corrupting our precious bodily fluids.
 
I thought you might like this story I found...

During the first few months of breastfeeding , I was constantly experiencing problems with leaking milk and let down even when my baby was no where in sight. On one of these occasions I ran across the street from our apartment late one evening to buy a quart of milk. I didn't bother to put a bra or let alone pads under my tank top for such a short trip.

While I was standing by the counter and waiting on line I thought to myself that the baby should be hungry any minute now. Just as the thought of feeding him entered my mind the let down reflex came in and down came the milk- not just wetting my shirt but squirting through it, pooling onto the counter a few inches away.

The young cashier had no idea that it was me leaking and began to inspect the quart of milk in my hand for a leak until he saw my wet t-shirt and jokingly asked my why I would buy a store brand when I could obviously make my own.
 
One more...my daughter was the "playful" one...well you started it Islander...:p

Breastfeeding Styles

Homer Simpson, a.k.a No talk, must eat
This baby attacks the nipple and sucks voraciously, assuming the "I am starving" body language. This style may include grunting, screaming, moaning or other noises that indicate the milk is not coming fast enough to satisfy him. Also, baby may paddle legs and pump arms either in frustration or in an attempt to get milk to come faster! When milk does let down baby will gulp his food and avoid any socialization as he is completely focuses on getting his meal.



Gourmet
This baby approaches the breast like the food editor of your local newspaper. He often reclines in a comfortable position and nurses slowly, savoring every swallow. He may also include a great deal of lip smacking, and latch on over and over again as though he can not tear himself away from such a delicious meal.

Social Butterfly
This baby would like to spend more time socializing then eating. He will stare up into Mom's face, smile around the nipple, and if encouraged - latch off the breast and begin a conversation by cooing and gurgling. This style is difficult to ignore and mother may find a 10 minute breastfeeding session is extended to half an hour as baby flirts shamelessly and eats very little.

Sampler
No thanks, I'm not hungry is this baby's style. He latches on, he latches off, he latches on, he latches off ad infinitum. Although he is adopting a grazing style he manages to empty an entire breast. Some Moms will experience the same phenomenon with a pint of Ben & Jerry's.




Acrobat
As baby gets older and more mobile he may adopt the acrobat style. This involves complex gymnastic positions in which to nurse. Some positions may involve standing on their heads, crouching, and standing up while nursing. Mom may find her patience sorely tested with this style.


Playful
With this style baby uses the breast as a toy. For example: he may latch on and suck until the milk lets down at which point he will pull off so the milk will spray on his face and clothing which is vastly entertaining; or baby may latch on and suck then begin to pull his head away while still maintaining suction resulting in a grossly elongated nipple which snaps back with the G3 force when baby releases. Assorted variations on this style abound and are too numerous to list.

Sleeping Pill
This style involves using the breast as a sleep aid. Often baby will want to latch on only to fall asleep within minutes, the breast containing some form of a sleeping pill. This is a very popular style as babies often adopt it 3 or 4 times a day in conjunction with naps and bed time.
 
Im pretty sure that "oh baby latch on" is not a phrase I wanna hear in bed though:p
 
Hmm.. seems to me they are playing each other's instruments...

You do realize I'll be scarred for life, don't you?
