Boob juice off the Menu

Yes. As title suggests, this post is about BREASTS and FEEDING and MILK. Not the full-cream stuff but BOOB MILK. If this makes your cream curdle, then, for the love of god, stop reading.
Scout has been a wee bit ill this week. Apparently she has some kind of virus that has caused ulcers in her mouth. I guess that’s what happens when you insist on drinking wading pool water jammed full of other bubs’ pee, dirt, sweat and germies.
So she hasn’t been to creche this week, much to McG and my chagrin. She’s been clingy and whiney and last night decided to whine every 5 minutes (I’m not kidding you) between 9pm and 2am. That’s right, for 5 freakin’ hours. We gave her panadol, we offered her water (not interested), we soothed her sweaty brow but she was so unsettled.
And the worst of it, she has decided she’s not having ANY of this BOOBY lark at the evening feed (about 6.30pm). NONE! She sucks for about 4 seconds, then pushes off with a wee nibble/bite. For the first couple of days it was no doubt because her ulcers hurt, but now I think she just can’t be arsed.
I cracked the sads a bit on Tuesday night – I mean, the way she was going she wasn’t looking like weaning until she was faking her own ID. But alas, 13 months down the track and booby is off the menu.
Permanently.
