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.

dWrite · 04-24-2008, 03:26 AM

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.

dWrite · 04-24-2008, 01:26 PM

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.

I would sign "milk" when it is time to feed the baby. (no matter if it is at breast or the bottle) I did that with 1st and now I have 2nd baby, and still nursing and still use bottle as well. He likes both.

Go to the bars and ask the drunk men there how would they sign boobs.

Usually you would get the conceptually accurate ASL sign for boobs, and I am pretty darned sure I do not need to describe it.

And the letter "B" from breast to breast is obsolete, damn hearing educators.

.... ffs why did you bring up an old thread....

I thought you just sort of bounce your (imaginary) boobs with your hands to sign boobs.

Lighthouse77 · 01-20-2010, 01:31 PM

I been told by a hearing person that the word breastfeeding is not the proper word and that we should use "Nursing" when referring breastfeeding. Oh well. each to their own.

**sallylou** · 01-20-2010, 01:37 PM

I call it nursing, too. I may be a regional thing.

Haha, Sal; that's not what I was referring to. I was just kidding you about you being a "regional thing".

Whatever that means.....I dunno, lol.

lol I notice you post just after I post it.

Lighthouse77 · 01-21-2010, 06:09 PM

I made our son call it neemee. I don't know why, I guess I didn't want people to know what he was talking about. you know, our little secret code word for nursing. I should have just call it milk. But anyway, he outgrown it and doesn't know what a neemee is anymore.

But i don't know a sign for boobies (in slang).

**sallylou** · 01-21-2010, 06:14 PM

Glad you caught my joke, PowerOn. Just teasing you because you're a good guy.

When I took my eldest to a play area, if he got hungry he would take a chomp out of my leg! Once, he actually got through my blue jeans and broke a little skin.

I learned to nurse him before he got too hungry. The play area is the only time he ever did this.
