Milk Siblings for JackJack

Yesterday, Friday the 8th of January 2010, JackJack became a Milk Brother!

Ok all you main streamers, buckle down and enjoy the read into freaky hippy shit as I share with you our story :)

Two of my friends, who are both named Sarah and we collectively call "The Sarah's", have little people that spend a fare bit of time with us these days. Sazz has a daughter Harriet, 22mths and counting being breastfed. Sarah has Iris, 30mths and struggling a little with breastfeeding, since her Muma also had Eloise, 7mths and counting breastfeeding. Jack himself is almost 19mths and counting with our breastfeeding.

The Sarah's have always had an open milk bar relationship with each others daughters, which makes it a lot easier to be able to be absent or help out when one another may need a booby break. Before I met these wonderful women, I hadn't really even thought about wet nursing, or giving out EBM to another Muma(which Sazz has very admirably done via courier to an interstate Muma in need). I had heard stories my Dad or Grandma told of wet nursing in the days of old, so it wasn't a completely new concept to me, but as Jack and I enjoyed a continued flow of mummy milk, I had had no cause to consider any alternative.

Sarah is finding lately though that as Eloise wants for milk more, there is less opportunity for Iris to enjoy her milk, largely due to Buba Lou's demand making muma sore :( and feeling like she needs her boobs to herself in the rare times Lou lets go of them!

The picture below shows Iris's 1st time of actually excepting Sazzie milk, while Harri latched on to her Muma, right beside her best friend.....the girls thought it was the most hilarious thing ever to be able to share a feed, breaking off and giggling milky laughs!

This feed to place late last year, at our Franga Muma's Christmas party.

So, although they had always had the option there of each others Muma's milk, it took a while to want it, Iris had by this stage not been able to have her "side" for a few days as her sister had been busy making their Muma's boobs sore.

There we were yesterday, at Sazz's house, playing with Harri while her Muma was at the osteo, and both girls were starting to fret for "side" as Iris calls it (her Muma habitually offered "other side now" so that is what Iris came to know it as), and "booby" as Harri calls it.

Sarah was busy trying to feeding Buba Lou, and so I thought, my boobs are here and they're cool with it, I don't see anything weird in it either, and I offered Sarah for Iris to have a feed from me. This 1st offer got as far as mouth on boob, which drew best friend Harri in for a try too, but then I was met with what you may think was "Yucky milk!" *giggles and then they both went off to play! Lol, how rejected I may have felt, had we not already worked out that Harri, in trying to say Jack's name, calls him "Yacky" or "Yucky"!! lol The girls must have found it funny to be able to try Jack's milk too.

Later on in the afternoon, Sazz had not yet returned, and as Sarah was feeding Lou, Harri asked her for booby. Unfortunately for Iris, Harri has a softer suckle then Iris, and Sarah was less reluctant to let her latch on along side Buba Lou.

Iris of course wanted some "side" herself after seeing Harri have some from her Muma, so she got to have some too. It all became a bit much for Sarah then, as Lou wanted her milk again, and the two older girls were both sharing her Muma!! I picked up Lou and offered her my boob, she had a few goes of it in her mouth, but kept looking over at the girls who were hogging her Muma!Sarah was joking she needed three boobs! I passed Lou over to Sarah as the girls came away.

I called Jack over to have a feed, along side Iris, and when Jack went off for a play, Harri decided she'd like the spare boob! lol This time both girls were keen!

As this was taking place, Sazz arrived home, to find some musical boobing going on! (bit jealous she missed it all! lol)

In the pic below is Jack, with his new milk sister, Iris

It felt so different looking down into Iris and Harri's blue eyes.....next time I'd like a blue eye'd baby please stalk!

For both girls, at first, I barely felt them feeding. Jack has a much stronger suckle, and I was just exclaiming that as, suddenly, my golly Iris went into turbo mode!! No wonder poor Sarah has sore boobs, Iris made sure she got every last drop as her feeds a not as often these days. For the first time in a long time, my boob trully felt empty after Iris fed. Often I feel like Jack has fed so long there surely isn't anymore to suck out, but for a good half hour after Iris fed I really felt that boob had just about been sucked inside out!

It was a true pleasure to be able to assist these two girls in their want for breast milk :)
