You have to find a word for your breasts that you are comfortable with (we say bubbas) and just answer his question without making a big deal over it. I think that he is still a baby and it's fine to bathe with him at this point. It can be a positive bonding time for both of you! If he were a girl he'd still ask the same questions!

I dress in front of my daughter and she thinks my breasts are funny. She calls them boobs. We don't really talk about them. I think it's fine that you bath with him. I disagree that bathing with your opposite sex child equals molestation. I think that you can tell him that they are your breasts (or whichever word you like). There are plenty of children whom are still nursing at his age and longitudinal research on these children does not indicate that they are in anyway sexual deviants or confused about their sexuality, or more likely to be taken from their parents on the grounds of molestation, or more likely to fantasize about the mother later in life. It's natural that he's curious. It's natural that you have boobs. It's fine if you tell him what they are. He'll get over any fascination he has with them quicker if you tell him what they are without making them (your boobs) or him bad.

Tell him...they are "boobs", "breasts" or any word other word you use to describe them. Keep correcting him in a positive fashion and this will expand his vocabulary. Be proud that he has good perception skills and that the "ball" like items on your chest is generating his verbal skills to his observations.

My son hops in the bath with me too. I have told them they are "boobees". I would alsways laugh at the way he pronounced it. He actually has been pretty good with not embarrasing me in public. Now, I have so many toys in the shower that he gets distracted, but I know at this age that should be the end of showers with parents, unless we are in bathingsuits.

Tell him your like a Christmas tree and those are your decorations. That should do until he gets older. Only thing is, you'll be in trouble if he asks where the hangers are.

I think that it's time to stop taking baths with him before you get turned into social services and they come and take him away.

you need to stop taking baths with him, 2 is the limit, he will start remembering stuff now, i advise you to stop, so do the doctors, peds, etc.
