| Your two year old is most likely doing what two year olds do: copying
Mommy. That's it. He's trying his best to nurture as you have nurtured
him. Kids this age get the general picture but get the details wrong
and you can see how he's doing just that! Lots of little boys this age
try to nurse their stuffed animals and other things/people. They stop
doing it after a short while. It is, in my opinion, very unlikely that
anything perverse or sexual going on with your son. If I were you, I'd
show him that nursing happens from the "bo bo" part of the body (the
chest) and it doesn't happen from the penis. For the sake of social
propriety more than anything else, I would tell him NOT to nurse toys
etc from the penis by just saying something like "No, not that way; we
do it like this (and then show him how to "nurse" properly)." I
wouldn't even bother telling him that little boys don't nurse since
this behavior will disappear on its own very soon and I'm sure he won't
"get it" when you try to discourage him right now. He's really far too
young to understand anything about this. He's just playing copy cat and
not doing such a great job of it.
In short, please don't worry about it. Your kid sounds normal and bright!
