I am having a really hard day/week with my 26mo.
He is still largely bf on demand (apart from a couple of smallish rules - not in the morning when we're getting ready, and not on buses/trains any more), including usually fed to sleep. He has been really unpleasantly chewy through the last few nights, which is very normal teething behaviour but I feel far less tolerant of it than I have done previously. I have been planning in any case to night wean for some time. Today he has now bitten me repeatedly on both sides, and I just feel completely that I've had enough - I don't want to ever, ever nurse him again.
I'm not sure of the wisdom of this - I have a feeling that weaning in such a horrible context will leave at least me, and possibly him too, feeling quite bad for a long time. But I wonder also if this means that I have already continued far beyond the time I should have given it up.
I don't know what to do. Breastfeeding was so horrible for months and months at the beginning and now the ending is horrible too and I wish I'd never bothered with any of it.
