DD "invented" tandem nursing

It's an amusing story

DD and I were walking to the car this morning and she said "Daddy need mow lawn"  I reply "probably not until next year, after the winter"  She says "mummy maybe mow lawn next year"  I tell her "Mummy will have a little baby next year so daddy can do the lawn mowing." 

Her adorable response was "mummy have another baby having mummy milk, I be nursing on other side"

We have never actually seen anyone tandem nursing so I'm pretty sure she came up with this idea all on her own.  

I have made no plans about tandem nursing, I'm waiting to see what happens to my supply.  Tandem nursing wasn't uncommon in the circle I grew up in, so I'll have lots of friends mums to ask if we decide to. but... she'll be almost 3 when the new one is born so I've been hoping that she stops on her own.  by this comment I don't think she has any plans to give up the boob without my intervention.

  • That is so adorable!  Your DD clearly loves nursing and I think it is awesome that she plans to share nursing, rather than be jealous or territorial.  You have an absolute sweety pie there!

    Yes Agreed! How cute!

  • Awww she is way to cute!

    One of my SIL BF her daughter tell she was around 4. She just turned 6 this year and started school. She is so smart and turned out great! Also she rarely gets sick Wink  

    My BIL's wife way saying that she was going to have a hard time in school since SIL never left her in daycare and BF so long. But she is doing amazing in school! I really look up to SIL, she is a great mom!

    I say if you are comfortable tandem nursing the go for it!~

  • That is so sweet! I think it says a lot about how well you are raising her that she immediately thinks to share nursing instead of getting jealous.
