Lopsided thanks to mastitis—kiddo has never taken that boob again! Solidarity! (.)( . )

I think that may have been where my problems began, too. Oh, the joys! (.) ( . )

That caterpillar video is amazing! There must be something especially wonderful about that tree for the caterpillars. As for the breastfeeding stories - what positive exchanges! I still laugh when I think about the "Little Britain" sketches with David Walliams' adult character wanting "Bitty" from his mother in all sorts of funny situations.

Oh my gosh, it was an entire row of trees, there were about 10 of them completely covered, with webs connecting them all. It was like someone had decorated for Halloween!

I weaned my last baby 42 years ago. Actually, my youngest weaned himself at six months when he took up biting. The very last time, he bit me hard enough to draw blood and then looked up at me with the most evil grin contorting his angelic baby face. No more nursing for him! He skipped the bottle (he kept throwing it away) and went straight to a sippy cup. I guess he was jealous of his older siblings.

They do grow up a lot faster, these younger siblings

She’s not wrong about the deflated balloons, sadly. My own children have referred to my boobs as deflated! How rude. Yes I know the milk factory is rusty, abandoned, and barely standing, but please pay some respect!

Haha, oh no! Remind them of how much they loved them next time she say anything, that should gross them out enough to never mention it again

I was definitely lopsided with the first who only ever wanted the right side for some reason! They did go down to the same size in the end 😅 second one has stopped now so just got the 14 month old to wean now — I've mentioned it to you before but Jessie's milkies really helped her make sense of it

Haha, luckily this isn't my first rodeo with wonky boobage, I had the exact same situation with Pickle and they did reset between babies, so I have hope. I'm just going to let Peach keep going as long as she wants to keep going, I think (though if I change my mind on that, I'll be looking up Jessie's Milkies for sure)

Good to know 😅 to be fair I'll probably be the same with this last one 💜 I think it was the tandem feeding which I couldn't cope with!
