Montana Babies

Siblings

I was wondering if any of the MT moms had other children. My son is 5 & I'm expecting a little girl in August. Here's the question: If you are planning on breastfeeding how are you explaining that to older siblings?

Re: Siblings

  • HI- I have a 4 year old boy and a girl due in July. I plan on breastfeeding and explained to my son that when babies are born that's where they get there milk from, and i also showed him pictures of when he was a baby and I was nursing,he was fine with it and understood. Smart little guys they are!
  • I have a 3 year old daughter, and a 5 year old son with another on the way.  I think honesty is the best policy.  Milk comes from mommy.  Enough said.  They should be able to understand.  If you have pictures of your older one - that might help.  You can show him that he also did the same.
