Bit of a strange one..

It’s all innocent. I remember loving my moms too just because it was something different to me and I loved every square mm of her! Just make sure she knows that that body part is only for family to see and touch and the same applies with her ❤️
@Caroline aw thank you for this! It is funny isn't it bless them, they're so innocent with it x
Also I remember my friends little sister saying she wanted “hair on my fairy like you mammy” when asked what she wanted for Christmas 😂 kids just love their mamas.
@KB thank you! I tried to say they were 'private' the other day and she asked me what that meant and I was like omg I don't know how to explain this to her haha but that is a perfect way of saying it
I’m dreading this conversation. The only sort of positive is that I have boys and I don’t think it’s as tricky as with girls as it’s so so so ingrained in us that women are at fault for these things as society has for decades painted us as objects of desire.
@KB this is hilarious!! One of my core memories is of my little cousin (7 years younger) drawing loads of scribbles on paper and sticking it to herself to give herself a 'hairy fairy' and running round the garden when we went round to visit, I will never forget how mortified my aunty was 🤣🤣
My step son was never breast fed by his birth mum and he was obsessed with mine, they are very big so he was curious about why mine and daddys chest is different, and obsessed with bras and would shout boobies at the top of his lungs whenever he saw bras in shops. It was so embarrassing. He has SEN needs so it took him a little bit of time but now he understands that girls have them and boys don't and that they are my private area. I'm expecting him to get abit confused again when my bio child arrives in July as that will be the first time he's ever seen a baby breast fed.
Good time to introduce privacy and boundaries? There's some fab looking books on Amazon, a whole series about bodies and secrets etc that looked good. Open and honest conversations, my boy was barely BF but often will have a peek 🙄🫣 just curious!
It is all innocent really but you can try to explain in simple terms boundaries if you like. When I taught in a SEN school for cognitive disabilities one of the boys (who had a mental age of about 2) kept opening their mouth to my boob and going nom nom or go to grab my boobs. Their mum had just had a baby (so they had become very facinated by breasts) and id go no that's what mummy's boobs do for your sibling. At the time I didn't have a baby so then said my boobs don't have milk like mummies and that milk your mummy makes is for your baby sibling. They'd always look a bit disappointed but it after a week of this on repeat it stopped
@Jai ooh great idea about the books. I definitely think it's a great time to start talking to her about bodies and boundaries etc and I've been at a bit of a loss as to how to approach it so this is a great idea, I'll have a look! Thank you
😂😂😂😂 this is so funny and cute!
bless her that's so funny😅 i have a feeling my daughter will be the same, she's still breastfed at 19 months with no plans to stop any time soon. my 6 year old niece was breastfed until she was 2 and a half and her mum says she's obsessed with boobs and breastfeeding too. when i breastfed my daughter in front of her she seemed fascinated and kept making comments about how the baby just wants my boobies, and she showed us her nipples too bless her🤣 i'm sure your daughter will grow out of it, bur for now it's just adorable and hilarious🤣xx
It is absolutely completely normal and it’ll stop over time. Very cute 😂 bless her.
Oh don't 😂 this remind me of my 5 year old. I'm currently breastfeeding her 6 week old brother. And she keeps telling everyone her baby brother is sucking mummy's nipples. 😂 I don't know where to put my face. Or when I came out of hospital after having him she kept telling people I'm bleeding out my private area 😂 Having kids is so embarrassing 😂
Well I guess boobies are nice and squishy 🤣 I wouldn’t worry, she’ll grow out of it. My eldest always used to cuddle into my friends boobs (she has massive ones!) when he was a baby, and he was only BF until 3 months I was like oh my god I’m sorry and she just used to laugh but then he just grew out of it! Tbh it’s great that she knows from a young age boobs are for feeding babies! X
