So I still let him walk in the room when I'm dressing and leave the bathroom door open -- I'm actually kind of hoping one of these days he'll realize that clothing and hair length aren't the only differences between girls and boys. So in my opinion every kid is different -- you just do what works best for your individual child. BTW Miles looks like a cutie. And I hope breast feeding is going better for you this time!

But, once they both got older (he nursed until age 2) she would ask and I just told her I was feeding him. After a shower together and some awkward questions we decided the time had come to stop seeing us naked. I actually just wrote a post on it on my blog. She is very vocal and at church said that "mom's "booboos" make milk for the baby". (I'm pregnant with #3). So, yes, embarrassing. <br />-Rachel C<br />www.thelittlecabbagecrew.comRColehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971236364519111090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307946577264246422.post-88097364656026043062014-10-08T11:10:18.571-07:002014-10-08T11:10:18.571-07:00I don't cover up at home and Caleb is now 3 an...I don't cover up at home and Caleb is now 3 and 1/2. He's not weird about it, he thinks it's neat and knows that's how mommies feed babies (but usually is to busy to notice). Sometimes he wants to snuggle Henry when he feeds, but at this age it's too distracting for Henry. With the teeth and him breaking the latch over and over I've been shoeing brother off so it can be more efficient and less painful. We watch our language around the kids and just say the baby drinks milk from mommy's chest because I don't care for them telling their friends about my "boobies" esp. in public (we don't use that word). In the evenings the baby usually nurses while one kid holds the storybook as I read to them before bed. Kelty didn't remember that I nursed Caleb when she was 3 (I was surprised that the whole thing seemed new to her at age 6). Once Kelty started Pre-K at 4 we started being better with shutting bathroom doors etc, but it's hard especially when you have a potty trainer. Probably might cover up more when Caleb is older with our fourth kid, and it's a little easier when they're away at school. Kelty didn't remember that I nursed Caleb when she was 3 (I was surprised that the whole thing seemed new to her at age 6). I figure when they're young enough to be with you 24/7 they're too young to care/be embarassed or remember... (plus you have to take them in the stall with you at public restrooms anyways). When they start wanting their own privacy and can understand abstract concepts (like embarrassment) then it's time to bother.DIY Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122373121548512384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307946577264246422.post-55654458477788272122014-10-08T10:27:09.225-07:002014-10-08T10:27:09.225-07:00My husband and I have both heard that people usual...My husband and I have both heard that people usually don't remember anything before the age of about three, so with my girls being three and four, we don't allow them in the bathroom when my husband is showering. I'm pretty sure we'll do the same for the little guy when he gets up there in age. As for nursing, I wasn't able to nurse my last two so none of them have any memory of that, but I would be fine having my girls see me nursing, As for my son, I might cover or at least try to keep a little mystery to what breasts look like......like getting that nursing pad in place like a ninja. ;-) But that's just me. Some women are much more comfortable with nursing, I am pretty shy. Maybe cause I didn't do it very long.

So adorable! Jackson never really cared or noticed how I fed Kenadee. Maybe because he was older and was too busy playing? I never covered when I was home, but he never said anything and he was 3. He's just never been curious about the body or anything. Kenadee though...I'm already bracing myself for what questions she could come up with! :) I probably still won't cover up with this one much since it will be mostly Kenadee and I at home. Not sure what I'll do when J is home. Just take it one day at a time. :)Tim and Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12800715303179202404noreply@blogger.com
