To those that still bf

Does anyone's LO find some unique ways to bf these days?

About 6am, Anthony wakes up so I get him and nurse him in bed. My dh is still there and Anthony has decided he must be touching DH while nursing. This leads to him putting his feet on Dh's chest while nursing so we make the letter H.

When he's overtired, he wants to lay on my chest and nurse. Super sweet but by far the most uncomfortable position ever unless I have him in the ergo and am up and about.

He also refuses to lay down if they animals are running around, so he sits on my lap and nurses. That's the only way he'll nip without in latching a bazillions times as well. We get some priceless looks.

DD nurses in bed with me in the morning lying next to me. Sometimes she wants to spice things up so she'll flip over onto her belly, push up on her hands like she's going to crawl, and try to latch on that way. So strange. Haha. I let DD sit on my lap to nurse sometime too but it's a PITA to get her to latch and keep the boob in her mouth.

L likes to sit and nurse so she can watch everything around her. We can't really NIP anymore because the niplash kills me.

DD is pretty traditional. She gets so distracted nowadays though that it's hard to NIP or even in my living room with DS jumping around. Maybe we should try the sitting up position if we're out.

I tandem on a feeding pillow still, so they're pretty much stuck in one position. Unless they're tired, it's a wrestling match between the two during the process. They've also taken to grabbing the boob themselves and shoving it their mouths while I'm trying to get situated. DS in particular likes to latch on to my bra if I'm not moving fast enough for him.
I think we'll have to retire the pillow soon though. I'm sure things will be interesting once we do that.

L has done this twice in the last 3 days. I am glad to know she isn't the only one. I thought it was hysterical, but tried not to show it because I don't want her to do it to get a reaction in public.

She also tries to latch onto DH's knee when she is standing up using his legs for support. Silly girl, a knee is nothing like a boob.

I just have to wait until he is starving to nurse, because apparently my nips are fascinating and he wants to stare at them and pinch them. He also likes to put one foot up over my shoulder.

My kid does this too. The other day ww were in the tub and she grabbed my boob and launched herself at me, haha.

She likes to nurse cradle style with her feet on my chest or in her hands or near her face, sometimes she will want to sit up but she doesn't nurse for long like that. She will also roll back and forth and nurse when she is close to me while pushing herself up.

NIP is hard for us too because she is so distracted. Usually I just have to wait about 3.5 to 4 hours between feeds and she will eat ok.

Gymnurstics. Haha. We have that going on too.

He likes to sit up but he will try to stand. My boobs don't stretch that way.

Yes! DS2 was the worst with this. It was hard for more when DD1 came along and I had to remember how to nurse a baby, with proper positioning and latch.
