When my mom nursed us (I had 3 younger siblings) she referred to her breasts as "snacky poos" and breastfeeding as "snackypooing." When my little brother couldn't pronounce "snackypoo" it became "abbyboo." So, naturally, now that I'm BFing I do the same thing. We "snackypoo" and I've got "snackypoos" lol! DH and my whole family does the same thing.
I'm wondering where that pet name came from? Did my mom just make it up? Does anyone else use it? Does anyone else use other pet names for BFing? Or am I just weird, lol?

Re: Pet Names for Breasts/BFing
I sometimes call it "nursies".
Our kind of wierd one is for bathtime: we call it "nakee baby time!", usually accompanied by dancing and fanfare (not really, but we're dorky like that)
LOL. Sometimes naky baby time does involve dancing for us!

I meant not really on the fanfare. There is most definitely dancing.
I've always called BM "mama juice". I'm not sure where it came from, but it stuck. We still refer to it as "mama juice", and DH occasionally calls the girls my "juice makers". Luckily, DS hasn't picked up on this one....not sure what kind of looks we get if he went around asking me to pull out the juice makers.

Just boobie. my two year old though has decided he needs to tell everyone...the cashier at Target, teacher at gym class, random strangers in the supermarket...that his brother eats boobie...lol
That's really adorable!
It's interesting to hear all of the different pet names BFing moms have for their boobs, lol!

I call it "num nums" as in, "Josie, want some num nums?"
I also sign milk and she knows how to sign it too.
