Lol - my dd used to do that :D We didn't do signing very much, but she picked up a few and that was one we had made up ourselves, I patted the top of my chest every time I asked her and she would do it to ask. Now she just moans/shouts 'dakky...' in her sleep, lol.

My boy is too busy with his thumb stuffed in his mouth to sign in his sleep. Although I do know that babies will often go through movements in their sleep (twitches etc).

cheers,

Signing in sleep is so cute. i am convinced now that we must do more signing too, I am a little inconsistent with that.

yep, we've had milk, and toilet-related ones, which are pretty much the only signs I've used consistently with mine, lol

Jax is 13 months now. Becky says that means we are officially Extened BF -ers now ;) I'm a bit chuffed about that. Thanks MoominHannah for leading the way and being such a great role model :)

Awwww, that's so cool :D Actually, I think it was officially 'breastfeeding toddlers' now they are over a year old, but Norma Jane Bumgarner uses the terms 'extended feeding/continued feeding and feeding toddlers' interchangeably in her book 'Mothering Your Nursing Toddler' - which is a great book!

I guess now, with the WHO guidelines, extended feeding would be considered anything beyond 2yo?

But it is such a great feeling to be feeding beyond a year old and I'm very proud of us all :D

I ditto the thanks to Hannah for being such a fab role model!!

Yes I've also heard it called "Full term breastfeeding" - how cool is that? :)
