Will I ever be able to wean my boob monster toddler?

[DitaVonCheese]

Don't know if anyone will have any advice, could just do with some support. DD is two in a couple of weeks and still bfeeds all the time and won't be distracted or put off - well, could probably distract her with chocolate and biscuits, but a bit loathe to do that. I wouldn't mind stopping now but I don't want it to be something I force on her and at the moment I can't see any other way of doing it. It's also such a big part of my parenting.

I was thinking yesterday after talking to someone whose 2yo has just self-weaned how nice it would be not to be bfing any more - to not have to worry about what I'm wearing or pressure from my mum or feeding in public or her slapping my chest and demanding a feed while I'm trying to talk to someone or whether it's having an effect on us ttc #2; plus it feels like my boobs are more important to her than I am - she asks for cuddles a lot, but only because she wants to nurse, and says goodbye to my boobs rather than me when I leave her!

I wouldn't mind continuing if it was only mornings and evenings or something like that but I can see no end to bfing at the moment! This is really starting to get me down. I don't want to hurt DD but I just don't know what to do.

I think it's reasonable to start imposing limits now, e.g. no nursing in public, or whatever it is that's important to you. My DD self weaned at 3.5 yo, If I could have decided I'd have weaned her at 2yo but she was having none of it then!

I recall reading an article I think it was KellyMom website about setting nursing boundaries, I'll have a rake around to see if I can find a link...

I stopped feeding my DD in public when she was about 15 months old, not that I think the public aspect should matter a whole lot, it was just what I was comfortable with. If you could try to stay busy it would minimise the opportunities for her nursing (appreciate that you prob don't want to be non stop keep-moving type of busy for the next 18 months!)

I couldn't find the exact article, but

this is kinda what I had in mind...

Thanks for the replies, it's great just to be able to talk about it. Sorry my OP was so garbled too

I think I will just have to be firm and start setting down some boundaries, though we are about to nightwean (again) so perhaps this isn't the best time. Or perhaps I could just cash in her current obsession with Cheesestrings and swap those for feeds (processed cheese has got to be better than biscuits, right?).
