The first time my two year old son saw me breast feeding his new baby sister he was very interested and then later reported to his granny that the baby didn't drink milk - she ate Mummy!

When my son was little he was going through a phase of not wanting to eat

One day I had just made myself a full English breakfast and was about to tuck in when the door bell went, so I got up to answer the door.

When I came back to my breakfast there wasr my one and a half year old son tucking in to eggs bacon sausages etc--I had never made him such a breakfast, it was usually cereal.

Obviously he was just fed up of the "baby" food he was being offered!

I am now a Grandma, but as a first time Mum I had the silly notion that my child would starve if not fed immediately when she demanded it.

I once even tried to breastfeed her while leaning backwards at the hairdressers having my hair washed.

I remember my husband feeding our baby daughter warm mushy weetabix one morning just as he was about to leave for work, he had a suit on and had gelled his hair up kind of spikey (in the 1980s!) and she did a huge sneeze with no warning and absolutely covered him in weetabix - on his suit, jacket, pants, shirt, and in all the spikes of his hair - it was SO funny!! She is the expectant mummy now!!

I have two photos of my daughter when she was around a year old at a party. The first photo is of my very pretty girl in her lovely party dress and accessories but her eyes are not on Mummy taking the photo no they are on a lovely chocolate cake on the table next to where she is standing. The next photo taken less than a minute later is of a chocolate covered little lady with the biggest smile you have ever seen.

My husband often used to swing our first daughter around, not realising she'd just been fed - he often ended up with a mouth full of undigested milk!

Fell asleep breast feeding. Woke up with the sorest nipple in the world!

Ok...might be too much info but there we go...
On the beginning I was helping my little one by squeezing my breast so the milk goes out quicker and once the nipple popped out of her mouth and the milk went spraying across the room straight onto my other halves face smile

Last week, i took out some breast milk to feed it to my new born baby. I made the bottle ready, put it on the table and got up to do a thing in the kitchen. When i got back i found my 3 years old laying down with the bottle in her mouth half finished and you can say she was proud of what she did lol!!

I left my baby grandson having his bottle on the settee with his Granddad while I went in the kitchen for a minute and when I returned the poor little chap was soaked through all his clothing! Silly Granny had not screwed the top on properly and when I pointed this out to his Granddad because he had not even noticed he laughed and said ' I thought he was guzzling it down fast!'

I was breastfeeding my 4th daughter who was 5 months old and the feeds were just getting more and more painful every time and I couldn't understand it. She clamped down really hard on me one morning and I really yelled and said "I have no idea why this is getting so painful", my eldest son just said "Mummy you do know that she has teeth don't you?" I had a good look in her mouth and found he was right! I don't know how I had missed it. Unfortunately I couldn't persuade her not to bite me no matter what I did so she transitioned quite quickly on to bottles! I found it funny that my son found the teeth before I did though!

Many years ago when we were foster parents, my husband and I had in our care a beautiful baby boy. Whilst he was with us we spent a family holiday in a small caravan by the sea. One night when he woke up for a feed, I turned the light on but nothing happened. The power to the site had failed. Armed with a handful of coins my husband set off to the nearest phone box to call the site owner.
When he got through, he asked for the power to be restored. The owner was not amused at being woken at 2am and asked why we needed the lights on in the middle of the night. My husband replied “It is pitch dark, we need to feed our baby and it’s hard to tell which way up to hold the baby, let alone heat the bottle.” Eventually the owner fixed the problem and all was well. Our own two boys had fortunately slept right through the nocturnal activities.
