Breastfeeding Note #32

December 21, 2008

I found a way to make my baby smile guaranteed, and I was wondering if this is innate to babies in general or just mine.

While the baby is breastfeeding and looking around, look at the baby’s eyes. Once they stare back, make a sucking motion, as if you too were breastfeeding. Do this for 5 seconds or so. Then break out into a smile and my baby will always let go of the breast with a big smile. Does this work on your baby?
