Another Nukkie War
by Nola
With all the problems I’ve had with breastfeeding, there has been another kind of nukkie war being waged in our home. Sun loves to suck. She could suck all day. Except for one problem: the binky pops out of her small mouth. If she were a cartoon, I’d see “doonk” all day long in a cartoon bubble above her head. Has a parent ever been arrested for child abuse or turned into Child Protective Services for duct taping a binky to a baby’s face? I’m just askin’. . . .
You know, I’ve wondered the same thing myself. Usually I think about it when it’s like 4am and my son is just about asleep but not really.
I was a big fan of the thumb sucking for this very reason. It never fell out.
