Hi
My little girl is 22months old and she is still breastfed. I am starting to feel that it is now the time to stop breastfeeding her. I was wanting to reach the 2 year mark and for her to understand properly when the time came to stop (or even for her to naturally wean) however I do think it is now starting to affect our bond rather than to compliment it as it had done in the past. She is still very attached to the breast, and now screams and cries to get it. She tends to feed when she is bored or instead of real food and when I am busy and say wait a minute (now she is approaching 2) it is causing huge melt downs. She spends 24 hours a day with me and has never been away from me as we own a business and therefore she comes to work with me every day which is great. We have a good strong attachment bond and I am afraid of damaging it both by stopping and continuing which is causing a huge battle almost daily. She still wakes up through the night at least once and though she has her own bed she tends to be in with us from 6am. My fells thinks it is time to stop as he thinks the battles are chipping away at the bond. If I an honest I am getting quite fed up with it - but this may just be a little glitch?
Any advice would be much appreciated for this stressed out mummy!
