This is a blog that is for breast feeding Moms. Breast feeding is a full time job and there are so many questions and concerns but not always a 'boss' to get your answers from. I am choosing to share my many experiences for others who need answers.

Bobbing for Boob!
So this title is very important for breastfeeding Moms. It can save you a lot of stress in attempting to decode what your baby wants from you. Babies bob for food, literally. No matter how young, a breast fed baby has the instinct to search for that nipple when hungry. They literally take their heads and start bobbing, like in a pecking motion, some also nuzzle and dig. They generally do this before they cry and get upset, assuming the cry is food related. When I heard another breastfeeding mom use the statment 'bobbing for boobies' it really stuck. I had a little chuckle and then I could not stop thinking about it. That is when I realized how many women probably have not noticed their babies doing this. Until I heard the expression and took note of my own breastfeeding baby, I hadn't realized how important noticing this was. It changed my world.
