Its funny how you forget some things about the ways babies behave during breastfeeding. My little girl is at the acrobatic stage . She twists ,turns, yanks her head back and laughs and genuinely thinks she can take my breast ( hers really) wherever she wants. It reminds me of a talk I gave once about the lexicon of breastfeeding styles . There's the social butterfly which i know well too , my other daughter was well known for liking to chat during feeds on and off , repeat x10 , she still talks an awful lot and I don't see that changing soon !
Another style I've read and experienced is the barracuda feeder- now Im not talking about newborns here , it generally happens when the feed is nearly over and babs decides to clamp down on the end of nipple . Picture the scene..... major scream from me , throbbing nipple and laughing baby . hmmm . I wouldn't change it for the world though :)

lovely picture nicola, we have the same acribatics and elastic nipples here.
Yes gill who'd have thought we would be saying that after our rocky start with sore nipples ! Both our babies had posterior Tongue ties .
