For the last week, Baby has not been eating much solid food (teething) and has been nursing like crazy - not just drinking but sucking for soothing (due to lack of solid food, increase in baby-sitting in prep for day-care & stroller instead of carrier in prep for day-care). A couple of times yesterday he just crawled up, nudged my tank top out of the way and latched on.
This morning, he had a full breakfast of solid food, so of course shortly after there was a rather lovely diaper full of poop, that required an impromptu bath. With a loaded diaper, I try to get him to lay down but he squirmed so much that he ended up with both a foot and a hand in the dirtiness. I sometimes think he does this on purpose because he has so much fun in the tub.
After the bath, he was standing in his crib while I put his diaper on him. While I was leaned over and with my hands busy with the diaper he just latched on. Once I had the diaper on, I pulled out and went to get his clothes. While trying to put his shirt on, he latched on again. It was a very weird feeling and I felt kind of stuck. I couldn't stand there leaning over like that for him to nurse and he wouldn't unlatch. I ended up picking him up and carrying him to our nursing spot while he stayed latched on.
When he was smaller and nursed every 15 minutes, I tried to carry him while he was nursing but it never worked, he wouldn't stay latched on. It is so interesting how things change so quickly with babies and as many times as I tell myself not to get used to things, I am still surprised when he does something new.
