He has a few new "tricks" that he started when trying to fall asleep for naps. He sometimes claps his hands above my breast, signs milk over and over, squeezes my breast like he's trying to squeeze the milk out, and sort of does this fist pump thing while grunting... all with his eyes closed and still drinking. It is the funniest thing, and I have to keep myself from laughing because he is almost asleep!
Just thought I would share. Do your LO's do anything cute or funny when tired?
Re: Funny things DS does while nursing when very tired
So cute!
My LO pinches NON-STOP! It is so strange because he always has to have a finger in my bellybutton. ha!
E does very similar things to these! Since we nurse side-lying for bed & naps, he's, obviously, lying on one side or the other... well he can't figure out what to do with his top leg. He fidgets it around for quite some time before he finally finds a comfy spot for it & goes to sleep. I found if I support that leg with a pillow, it helps him!
But he also sometimes claps his hands or smacks my breast a billion times. And when he's not really very tired, he pulls off mid-nursing, examines my nipple & then practices his pincer grip on it! Ouch! And then he flicks it with his finger.
He's also recently very fascinated with faces, so while he's always liked sticking his fingers in my mouth, now he also squeezes my nose & tries to poke my eyes out!
LOL! Too funny!
That's cute lol!
Squeezing nose and poking out eyes, ouch!
Haha, I forgot about the leg one, I joke DS has restless leg syndrome! He is always moving one or two legs up and down and back and forth , no matter if we're lying down or sitting in the rocking chair, until he finally settles with his little feet crossed, it's so cute!NAK so can"t post ours now.
These are hilarious!!!
Ha! DD does this too- and she knows and does the sign for milk! I think she realizes she's so ready to nurse right this second and just goes for it. I have to pull her back, then she'll smile and do the sign.
She also cracks me up in the middle of the night; we nurse on one side and then I move her over to nurse on the other. (I prefer to have her fall back to sleep in between me and the bedrail b/c I don't trust DH) Anyway, while I'm readjusting myself and the covers she'll sit up and just latch on.
Patience is a virtue she has not yet mastered.

Shutter! I would freak out, that is so crazy! That will be a talent to impress people with at parties someday I'm sure.
Haha, we all have our tired mommy moments!
Ah, I remember this with my babies and it makes me miss nursing a little...which is funny because I always hated it.
DD1 would stand up and lean over to nurse in the night. During the day she'd be upside down, legs up on my shoulders.
My DS does this too! (He will actually do it to DH if he is supertired & hungry.)
That's so cute!
That's funny! DS also pulls his hair, and he barely has any! And when I wear my curly hair down, he pulls on the curls and watches it bounce.
