Towards the end of my pregnancy I stared having conversations with you about the new baby drinking special milk from Mummy's breasts, so you wouldn't get weirded out by it (as you stopped breastfeeding in April 2012).
However, given everything, this has not been the case. I have been expressing all my milk so it can be frozen, and stored ready for when Minnie is ready for it.
So you have not been seeing me breastfeeding but expressing instead. And it has intrigued you, though like everything you feel it is perfectly normal, as your whole life is about new experiences.
The funniest point was when you grasped my little manual breast pump, lifted your top up as if ready to use it, said "no boobies" and then pulled your top back down again. Hilarious!
And I am now using a fantastic pump, thanks to Claire, which means I can be an efficient milk machine for Minnie at home, as well as using the pumps at the hospital. Let's just hope she improves enough to need all this milk ...
