: : Hey I am 10 weeks 5 days pregnant and I want to cover all my basis before the baby gets here I plan on breastfeeding but how am I to tell my 3 and a half year old that the baby will eat off mommy so that he won't try to do the same thing as the baby?
: : Any answers would be good thanx.
: : Cathy

: Did you bf your first? If yes tell him and explain that is how little babies eat. Like Steve said, tell him what a big boy he is and make eating like a big guy sound like it is cool.

yeah i breast fed my first but only for 5 months so he shouldn't remember thanx for your responce.
