 Topic: Is the strangers baby after my milk?
Posted: 25 September 2011 at 8:51pm |

Not really serious issue but always has us thinking - a friends DD was breastfed til 4 months and has been on formula full time since then, now 10 months. Whenever i pick her up she graps the neck of my tops and puts her whole head down my front, would get into my bras too if i didnt stop her. She doesnt seem to do it to anyone else (am the only b/f in our group) can she smell my milk and is going after it or do i just wear fun to play with tops? Just curious!

"Oh hey.. do you mind if I shove my boob in your kids mouth to see what they do?"
What a fun conversation between friends!

Hah - i won't, but thanks! Though she did come over during the feb EQ eyeing up my freezer stash in case it got bad down here (not in chch but close enough to feel the aftershocks). Mummy_becks, thanks, was wondering if its specifically her going in after the smell of milk or if i just happen to wear tops she likes to put her head down.
Not for any serious reason of course, just curiosity.

No I was serious. I would ask permission first, and if it was alright then there is no harm done.

I just think that is inappropriate and unneccessary Wriggles. I would happily feed a hungry baby if there were no alternative but to just flop it out for the sake of seeing what a baby would do... Unless it was a close friend/family member who had the same parenting "style" as you and you know would not be mortified why would you even bring it up to alienate yourself...

*sigh did you not read that I WOULD ASK FIRST.
Everyone has their own opinions and perceptions on things, I just posted my view, you do not have to agree with it, however you do not have to go attacking me about it either.
I can see the cattyness coming out now, its such a shame as this place used to be nice.

I don't have a problem with shared feeding at all, however I think that unless the person was also of a similar parenting background as yourself, I wouldn't mention it at all.
And Bowie, yep, baby can smell your milk, lol. Very cute!!

I can see the cattyness too.
I'm new to this site and was having a look around the different areas and its the same few names that come up that seem to clash with others and not can't seem to grasp the idea that we are all adults and if we don't like what we read (or that someone elses views on whats right or wrong are different to our own) then too bad we live in a world where we have free speech and writing/responding on a forum isn't a life or death matter (or a necessity).
I'm probably going to get slammed for saying it but I do believe that as an adult i can have an opinion. And this is it.

Clique-ity clique lol!
Back on topic though, I've had the same thing Bowie. I hope its just super sensitive baby noses! I'm paranoid I walk around all day smelling like milk, especially since I'm still regularly springing leaks and singlehandedly keeping the pigeon breastpad company in business. I've asked DH but his sense of smell isn't so great since he broke his nose and its not the done thing to ask a stranger if you smell like a dairy cow.

I am not being catty at all, I am appalled and yes I saw the "ask first" which is why I said that unless you knew the person well and knew they had the same parenting style as you why would you even mention it! Why is it when ever people have a differing opinion it is cattiness? I dont think your comments are catty, though others might.
Seriously, we need some new material.. catty, clique.. its getting old.
I get what you were saying, and if it were my sister or my bestie I would probably say "whip it and out and see what happens" but not my coffee group!
I have also had this happen and same Faffer, just hope noone else can smell me LOL
Still leaking today! nearly a year on (it had stopped by 5 months with DS1 so this is new lol)

Oh and I also have nothing against shared feeding, milk banks and the like. I would happily feed a hungry baby if needed.. yes from my own breast!

Crap MOP, was hoping there was light at the end of the tunnel and I was going to miraculously stop dripping sometime soon.

Wow, I think that's cute!! I had to give up BF at 6months because I had very little milk (built up with domperidone) and found it heartbreaking because my son loved it. I reckon bubs probably can smell the milk - for ages after my son would grab my front and suction his mouth to my boobs, top and all.

Alex hasn't been BF since he was like 8 weeks old. He pulls at everyones tops.. mine.. Becks.. my mum.. DH.. anyone. So I don't think its necessarily a milk thing cause I sure hope the males tops Alex pulls at don't smell milky lol
