If there’s one thing we know about toddlers, it’s that they say exactly what’s on their mind!

Rachel recently shared her now adult son’s strong feelings about any milk other than hers when he was a nursling.

“I loved the story of the toddler who loved the scent of momma’s milk. (lllusa.org/out-of-the-mouths-of-nurslings-milk-memories/) It reminded me of my younger son, Ben. He nursed until he was three years old. During his second year he told me, ‘Cow’s milk is yucky, mommy’s milk is good.’ I treasure that ‘review’ from my now 25-year-old.”

Marguerite’s daughter also had glowing words of praise for the positive way nursing made her feel.

“When my daughter was three years old, she told me that she felt very, very wiggly, meaning she was very uncomfortable. Then she said, ‘and then we nurse, and everything’s okay!’ Thank you, La Leche League, for guiding me through the wonderful experience of mothering!”
