A question

[leeanne]

Have any of your babies found something while breastfeeding that soothes them while feeding?

My daughter used to play with my hair all the time. When she got onto the bottle she would then play with her own hair.

My son would only let me feed him on our couch so that he could twirl the fuzzies on the couch between his fingers.

Tyler will only feed properly if he can hold onto my top otherwise he gets restless.

yes, now that you say it ...

I always offer Juleika my finger to hold whilst feeding

It's funny how they tend to pick something that soothes them whilst feeding.

Lewis used to sort of cover his ear and stroke his hair and sing whilst he fed.... oooh , I've gone all goosebumpy remembering.... such special memories

Aaron usually holds onto my top and has done ever since he was born, but sometimes he will grab my breast with both hands instead.
