Breastfeeding and Pumping: Anecdote :)

So today my son saw me pumping milk for my daughter.
He is three. and curious. My daughter is only 7 days old and im still slightly engorged and my supply is still all over the place.

here is some of the conversation we had while i pumped.


he sees the pump going and my swollen nips.
"mahmee, are those your fingers?" he asks.
"no baby those are my nipples."
"oh. your nimples. so those nimples are for your boobies?"
"yep."
"oh. ok. hey mahmee. so you put your boobies in there and when you squeeze them the milk comes out?"
"Yes they do. very good buddy."

I realize here that the bottles im using to collect are filling too fast and i try to pour it into a breastmilk bag to contijnue pumping for her meal.

He said "can i put the milk in the freezer for you?"
"i can do it honey thank you."
"no, can i please put it in the freezeR?" i give in.
"do you know where to put it?"
"yeah, with all the other booby milk in the freezer."
TOUCHE!
sometimes he is smarter than i even realize.
