Does anyone else have an absolutely voracious breastfeeding toddler?
DS, almost 20mo, has hardly cut down on his feeds and grabs for my boobs almost anytime they're within reach or sight. He also wakes at least once or twice a night to feed. The past two weeks have been especially rough and I suspect he's going through a developmental leap or growth spurt, on top of teething. But those things aside, he's always been this way.
I try to distract him but it doesn't always work. I'm basically trying to "not offer/not refuse", but definitely reaching the point where I want my boobs back, thank you very much.
I ideally want to let him self-wean because I'm lazy that way and it was so easy with DD ... I'm just wondering when he might want to start down that path. Someone tell me it will be soon, please.
