When she started the pinching, ...@Girl With Fire <br /><br />When she started the pinching, I had read something that said to shout "Ouch!" to discourage it. That didn't work. I can usually distract her from suckling, sometimes for the majority of the day - but if I stop her from the pinching that's when she screams! <br /><br />@Amy <br /><br />My second son used a bottle when I stopped nursing him, and I had a hard time getting him to give it up too. He eventually moved on to a sippy cup but didn't give it up completely until he was about 4.5!<br /><br />@Laura<br /><br />That makes it harder when he won't drink regular milk! Good luck! She is probably my last baby too, but I still held onto my favorite outfits just in case ;) <br /><br />@Alicia C.<br /><br />Mine doesn't have a scheduled nap time and really only naps if she konks out so I don't think that would work with her. I can distract her with juice or milk, but after drinking that she usually comes for her boobie fix anyway!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274802778761437150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723699300802409147.post-30837285303866010762011-01-24T11:36:22.142-06:002011-01-24T11:36:22.142-06:00My little guy turned 2 last November and is still ...My little guy turned 2 last November and is still nursing. When he hit that milestone, I decided that nursing should be only for naptime and bedtime. Whenever he asked for "boobin'" I would say, "Ok, then it's naptime, right?" Of course, unless he was sleepy, he'd give me his emphatic "NO!" Then, over and over (like a million times!) I explained that "boobin' time" was for sleepy time. Eventually, he got it and now he gets nursed, or 'suckled' as you aptly described it, for 5-10 minutes before he goes to sleep. It seemed to take forever for it to click, but it finally worked for me. <br />I have noticed that he was asking for boobin' when he was thirsty, so I usually could avoid a tantrum over the whole thing by filling up his juice cup.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335982303703120909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723699300802409147.post-89358292004072049282011-01-24T11:09:04.393-06:002011-01-24T11:09:04.393-06:00If you find the answer please let me know. My son...If you find the answer please let me know. My son is KILLING me!! He turns 2.5 on the 28th of this month and still screams....I want milk as soon as I get home from Anywhere! Like you said it's a comfort thing, but the bad part for me was he doesn't drink reg. milk and we've tried strawberry, choc. lactaid,..etc.!! I don't know what to do but i'm feeling relieved that i'm not the only one dealing w/ this. He will pull my shirt up and do whatever it takes to get milk! I still have milk but not that much!! Not to mention that he also is my last baby so i guess the guilt is on me. Thought he woulda wanted to stop by now!!laura20vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823786529492479477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723699300802409147.post-5948077074330047412011-01-24T10:30:33.237-06:002011-01-24T10:30:33.237-06:00I had a similar problem when my daughter was 1.5 a...I had a similar problem when my daughter was 1.5 and I wanted to stop nursing her. She finally gave in and took a bottle (I can't believe I resorted to that). She still insists on having a lot skin contact with me and as often as she can possibly get it. She'll be happy enough to lay with her cheek on my stomach as long as she's got the bottle also. She's 2.5! It's my dirty little secret that she still has that bottle at home. I'm sorry I have no advice, just so you know I feel your pain. I guess all you can do is remember she won't do it forever and one day you'll want to hold her close and she'll say "mom! you're embarrassing me!"Amy Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10635607198510339293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723699300802409147.post-70752172073492397232011-01-24T10:29:25.461-06:002011-01-24T10:29:25.461-06:00My daughter did the exact same thing.

She was 20 months before I had her weened and at almost 3yrs she is still trying to grab at and rub my breasts every time she is within 3 feet of me. My only suggestion is to be a complete hard ass about it. Buy a truckload of straws and something she really likes to drink as a reward when she has had a good day. (I buy Sunrype Fruit plus Veggies). <br /><br />The sore nipples suck, especially with the pinching and rolling. If you are like me, you will panic every time something is within 6 inches of your breasts for a while.<br />My daughter was really into hugging and kissing my breasts and telling them she loved them; this is when I cut her off. When weening her I allowed her to sit with me while she drank, and rest her head against or rest her hand on my breast. It comforted her and eliminated the pinching which is UNACCEPTABLE. It hurts, she needs to know that. <br /><br />Like I said, I KNOW how hard it can be, the reason my daughter wasn't weened at 12 or even 18 months was that every time I told her no and she would scream like somebody was torturing her for up to 4 hours. I knew my downstairs neighbours hated us already (the did not like it when my children ran across the floor and threatened to call the police over it) and was terrified they would call childrens aid or the police. <br /><br />I hope you find something that will work for you soon!Good Luck!Girl With Firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200652674145206249noreply@blogger.com
