ASL slang for breast?

RaeAnne · 04-23-2008, 12:04 AM

I'm breastfeeding my dd, and am wondering if there is an ASL equivalent for the word "boob." We're sort of a weird family, and "breastfeed" just isn't going to cut it.

TIA!

The only sign I know for Breast, is a B, going from one to the other side of the chest.

I only know the sign with the "B" hand going from breast-to-breast...

maybe do the sign for breast and then the sign for feed.

Now that I think about it, why not just do the sign at the breast with a flat o-shape hand and move it in a "sucking" movement.

Then there you would have a sign for breastfeeding.
