| Paps |
Just came across your organistion whilst working as nurse advisor for NHS Direct and will pass on this address to those mothers who are breastfeeding and who come across any difficulties breastfeeding in public. PS One of my own children used name "PAPS" when wanting a breastfeed. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK |
| Patties |
I am successfully breastfeeding my third child (a son now 5 mths) I was unsuccessful with my two daughters now 4 and 5. The girls are very intrigued and as involved as they can be. My oldest daughter noticed that the baby paws and pats my breasts when he is nursing so she started calling them "patties". Now when the baby cries both girls will tell me that their brother is ready for his "patties" and it is really sweet because its our private codeword. |
| Pecho |
Jane, my daughter Siena is aged three and a quarter, and still loves to breastfeed. She is very articulate about it. We call it "doing pecho," because pecho means breast in Spanish; I wanted to give her an accurate word but not a word that would cause embarrassment if shouted out in our mostly English-speaking society. She says "I want to do some pecho" when she wants to nurse, and she also says "I need your hair" if I have it pinned up, because her nursing routine includes playing with my hair. |
| Poos |
My daughter Charlotte 2yrs says "poos" as in drinky poos as she can not pronounce milk. It has on occasions raised a few brows with her shouting at the top of her voice that she wants a poo. |
| Pop |
I tried weaning my little girl at 19 months but she persisted. She now likes to rub them and give me the old nudge, nudge, wink wink look and suggest I give her POP! I think it's cute how she thinks that we should just keep it between she and I now that everyone thinks she is weaned. |
| Puddy / Baby |
My second child called it "Puddy" and my third child called it "Baby". I can't wait to see what my fourth child will come up with (at present she is only seven weeks old)! |
| Pupicks |
Hi! Just another word to add to your list. My 2.5 year old and 4 year old associates nursing with their pupicks (Short "u" sound) (belly-button in Yiddish) and therefore asks if I'm feeding their 1 year old brother from my pupick. |
