Sassy. Sassy? I am not even sure if I remember how to spell that right. Hold on, there was an afternoon where we had a babysitter and went for lunch, drinks, a walk. I think I even put make up on and dried my hair for the occasion. And I felt a little sassy. That’s once in 9 months. Not bad, eh?

PS: I once tried breastmilk. Accidentally!! Have to say though that it’s quite tasty. Vanilla milk shake like. No wonder babies like it

The Boobie Trap is in full effect here. We practice child led weaning and I tandem nurse my 2 year old and my 1 year old. The girls are definitely off limits to the husband and honestly I cannot remember how I ever found them to be a turn on in the first place! Once my role as a nursing mother comes to an end I might feel differently but the very thought of it now seems foreign to me. They were meant to be a source of food and comfort to my children. I would be interested to know more about how they came about to be part of the sex equation in the first place.

I think the Boobie Trap exists in other parts of trying to balance our lives, in addition to how to manage the boobies for fun vs. food debate. For example, there’s the boobie trap of how to have a serious conversation with your husband about how to manage your children’s table manners, but you only remember to bring that up when you’re at the table. Or the boobie trap of trying to take time for yourself, like to exercise or read, when you only have 1 hour between helping the kids with their homework and putting dinner on the table. Motherhood indeed makes us laugh and cry, and in working on trying to achieve the impossible, I’m going to continue to not take myself too seriously.

I am soooooo with you on this. Been BF’ing for 18 months and if thats no enough this kid uses them as his personal comfort item… he will stick his hand down my shirt at ANY given moment. CONFESSION: in the mornings he will snuggle in bed with us and then after he BF’s I turn on the TV and he will sit and watch while “holding” my boobs for anywhere up to 30mins – if I try and turn over he’ll freak out. It buys me extra sleep so I allow it , but its really not a great habit to encourage i know…
Poor husband is swatted away frequently…

yeah, at the beginning my boobies are just for my babies. and I know my hubs agrees b/c the idea of milk coming out pretty much freaked him out. I used to refer to them as Monster Milk Makers which is probably not all that sexy. Nor is watching me hook my tits up to a bunch of tubes to pump milk while my nasty shrunken stretch marky stomach was bared to the world. LOL. This is pretty gross, but we used to have a friend that LOVED it when his wife was nursing b/c he liked to sample the breast milk too – he said it tasted like rice pudding (gag). To each his own I guess.

Oy. I definitely remember jiggling both roles after having my daughter (no pun intended). It was a challenge. But like you said, in the beginning, they are usually exclusively a food source.
Besides, I was incredibly leaky with my daughter for months and months!

Sorry…TMI?

I am with Lee! I also didn’t breastfeed and the LAST thing I wanted after giving birth were other hands all over them. I appreciate your honesty throughout this post!

It was a delicate walk that we did when our son was born. I nursed for 7 months! So…being cut off was not an option, I tried to keep my bra on for a while, and he let me get away with it, but after a few months that too had to go & I had to remember that I am WOMAN first and Mom second in the bedroom.
Although at the first cry I was always up and out of the bedroom to see what could possibly be wrong. LOL Such is the life of a mom!
