I feel the time has come to stop bf my very nearly 2 year old. DS2 only feeds in the morning and evenings, but I've reached the point where I'm finding it more annoying than enjoyable. He is very wriggly and a bit bitey when feeding, and there are not very often any nice peaceful relaxed feeds any more. The problem is that he loves it, and is showing no signs at all of wanting to stop, which makes me feel rather bad about stopping. DS1 self weaned at around 20 months, and wasn't ever quite as obsessed as DS2, so I didn't have this problem!
Does anyone have any tips of how best to approach this? My DH is on hand to take him on mornings for a few days, when I think he will miss it most, and to put him to bed in the evenings. Is there anything else I can do to help DS2 with the transition?
Thanks.
