| Ch-chi |
Hi Jane! My almost two year old nursling, Daniel, calls it: CHI-CHI! Leche is Spanish for milk, and I've always called it chi-chi and now he says it himself :-) |
| Chi-chi |
My 3 year old daughter has been calling it chi-chi (or she-she) since she was about 2. (She calls me her she-she mama). I had every intention of stopping her nursing by now, but she had other plans! |
| Chocolate & Vanilla Boobs |
In my house, breastfeeding is something that we joked about frequently right after my youngest son was born. My teenage daughters used to always come up to me while I was nursing and ask whether I was using the chocolate or vanilla boob. Well, these names stuck. I now have a chocolate boob on the right and a vanilla one on the left. Please don't use my name. I'd rather not have everyone know that one of my breasts produces chocolate milk. |
| Come |
My two year old son just says "Come" every time he wants to nurse. I suppose it started because when I would bring him to my breast I would say come. The way he says it though is funny, he says KU, KU KU Come, a short sharp K sound. Sometimes in public he starts to shout "Come Mama" and people probably wonder why he is telling me to come when I am already there. |
| Comida |
Spanish for food |
| Coontie |
I have a 6 month old who cannot talk quite yet and as such has no names but my godson calls his coontie. God alone knows where he got it from, as such everyone at church now refers to all breastfeeding mothers breasts as coontie. We now have a generation of 3yr olds and younger wanting their coonties!! |
| Cough |
I have no idea why, but my daughter, now 14 months, coughs pointedly when she wants to breastfeed - she's been doing it since about 9 months. I try to teach her to say "milk", but when I say "do you want milk?" she just nods. It would be rather discreet if it weren't for the fact that she does it while yanking at my clothes. |
