when will she stop trying?

[madhouseof5]

How long before My LO (23 months) stops wanting to have boobie
we have been breast free for 3 weeks
but when its bed time or when shes upset she pushes herself down into me and pulls up my top

One night I went to bed with out my bra on She thought her luck was in LOL

I get so upset as she gets upset I would love to keep on feeding her But we have got on so well to take a step back

Big girl now

If you would "love to keep on feeding her" then why don't you?

She's simply trying to get something that she had every single day for almost two years. You can't blame her for being confused as to why you are denying her.

If you want to keep nursing I dont understand why you are not...

I dunno but I think if its mutually desired then why not?

My guy self weaned at 3.5 years he still touched and rubbed my breasts for about 6 months but didnt try to nurse because he self weaned and was done with it on his own.

I needed to stop because I became pregnant
I found out on the 6th Jan but sadly on the 6th feb I lost baby

I did not want to be feeding two babies I know you can
and now its all over I need to give my poor old body a brake

I feel really bad not feeding her I try to give her lots of cuddles bettwen crying my heartt out over the loss of the baby

If you both want it, do you think possibly it might help both of you to keep nursing, at least a little? It sounds to me like you two need it.

Quoting madhouseof5:

I know someone whose 4 year old just went a day without nursing for the first time in her life.  It was part of her nighttime routine.

I know that the loss of a baby is very very hard, HUGS momma.

You may find that the hormones from nursing a few times a day would be very helpful.  AND it will help your body heal just like it does after giving birth.

HUGS do what is best for you, if not nursing is whats best for you then so be it, do not feel guilt when you are doing what is best. If the woman in the mirror is happy with the decisions you make no matter what you should feel no guilt.

I'm sorry for your loss.

It may help with the emotions if you allow your daughter to nurse and then re-approach weaning at a less emotionally challenging time.

Did you stop cold-turkey? That may have added to her confusion.

My daughter is 29 months and still nurses FWIW.
