Story and a question

I woke yesterday am with a very sore shoulder and couldn't figure out why. DH told me that he saw me sitting up nursing the babe in our bed and I was snoring!! I so wish we could nurse lying down... swearword reflux.

I was also wondering what you are using as a code word for nursing? I'm not super worried about it but would like something so she's not hollering for boobs while we're at church!

Oh, I remember those days. DD had reflux and our doctor said that she had to stay upright for thirty minutes after every feeding. How many times did I fall asleep sitting up!

I've always referred to nursing as "boobies" as in "do you want boobies?" In retrospect, maybe a different word would have been better as DD can now say boobies. Luckily, it just sounds like "booey". Apparently MIL used to say "nurse" to her kids so when they wanted it they would just say "nurse?" That probably would have been a better route. I have to admit I kind of think DD saying "boobies" is a little funny.

I always said "nurse" to DD and when she started talking she used the word "nurse" as well.  It's the word I'm most comfortable with.  I only talk about my boobs with my DH.  :-)

I usually say nurse or sometimes snuggle up if it's before a nap (as in, "are you ready to go snuggle up?").

Ouch on the shoulder!

I've always just said milk - "Do you want some milk?"  Now that we've reached the "tug on mama's shirt stage" it occurred to me that I should teach him the sign for milk too so he can ask that way.

My SIL uses nummies for her code word. Emma is always screaming that she wants nummies. My LO isn't here yet so I don't know what I'll use.
