| Ham |
Robert, almost three, calls it "gigig", which is the way he used to pronounce drinky - which I used to describe breastfeeding, and a cup was a drink - "gig". Now his speech is clearer, we still refer to breastfeeding as "gigig" as no one know what he is asking for apart from his immediate family - thus eliminating any embarrassment on my part! He did go through phase of calling it "ham" as he liked ham so much that anything that was tasty was called ham! |
| Hmm Hmms |
Not myself but my mum's story. When my little brother wanted a feed he would always ask for hmm hmms mummy. Bless him! |
| Honeys |
My son weaned himself around 2 1/2. He called is Honeys. Have no clue where he got it from. Probably from me, "come here, honey." |
| Hungries |
I haven't nursed my DD since she was 9 months old (very sad about it), but I've been preparing her for me nursing the baby soon to come. Every once in a while she lifts my shirt and points to the "hungries". :) |
