Breastfeeding and tantrums?
Show your support
My girl is the same… as soon she sees me sitting down she comes straight away, lies on my lap, lifts my top and starts asking for boob… sometimes I can distract her other times she’s not having any of it… lately if I’m holding her she even puts her hands down my top and inside my bra 🫣 I say that I will breastfeed until she naturally weans herself off of it but sometimes I wonder if she’ll ever get enough of boob 🫠
My little boy is exactly the same. He wants milk alllll the time. If he sees me getting out the shower or changing clothes with no top on then god help me 🤣🤣
My LO was the same, I know how is hard to slow down breastfeeding, specially if you stay at home all time. When I was still on maternity was much worst, as I work full time now, I had to slow down. But weekends for example, my son wants breast 24/07, I have to distract him or leave him with his dad. At time, we are in the process of wean him off, he cries still and wakes up at least 2x, first 3 days he non stop cried for 4 hours, but we have to keep strong.. he is already understanding he has no breast at night, I still breastfeed him before bed tough
It’s so tough! I don’t know what the reason for this sudden huge uptake in wanting to constantly feed is? I’m finding it so stressful but don’t want to deny him something that I’m happy to continue with… just not as many times a day as he wants it
Our situation is slightly different than yours but similar.. gone back to feeding around the clock and multiple times at night. Demanding boob all the time.. I find this exhausting. Trying to curb it doesn’t work. If this continues we will have to go cold turkey as it’s negatively affecting everything
