breastfeeding toys - 05:01 PM
(filed under 'baby')
at times, smiley likes to have amusement while he's breastfeeding. sometimes it's as simple as positioning us both on the couch in a manner that allows him to see the tv if it happens to be on. other times (& usually) he insists on bringing a toy with him that is neither small, nor easy to operate with his inside arm kind of stuck out from between my chest & his body.
the biggest toy (so far) that he's wanted to play with while on my lap feeding was one of those keyboard type things with the big keys on them that make notes or music or animal noises when you hit them. it's actually the one that's designed to go on the end of a cot for a much younger baby to kick with its feet. it's almost as long as he is tall. that was a bit of a challenge.
sometimes he'll have settled down for a good comfy feed & he'll suddenly realise there's a toy that he must have with him. he'll jump off my lap, run to get the toy & then come back with it & go right back to where he left off.
currently he's trying to draw on an old envelope with his red pencil while he feeds (& stretches my nipple out much further than i ever thought it would stretch, but not as far as he thinks it will stretch). he's also squirming around on my lap, contorting himself into all sorts of difficult positions. difficult for me, that is, to stop him from falling off my lap.
who'd have thought breastfeeding was such a strenuous activity?
