Help/advice needed on bf 15 mo

Hello,
I bf dd1 till she was 16 months, she self weaned. DD2 is 15 months and I always assumed I would let her self wean.
The problem is that she always wants to pop on and off, but without really drinking anything. And I'm now beginning to feel a bit mauled. She is constantly pulling at my top and trying to get to the boob, but has a few sucks then comes off, bites and pinches me and will have a massive strop when I put my top down.
I have tried distracting her with snacks and drinks but it doesn't work, although she is fine at nursery and with other people.
I kinda feel like I don't want to do it anymore...but at the same time I don't want to make her stop. But I don't know how much more of the constant moaning and mauling I can take.

Help and thanks

I have a mauler too. Its not just about nutrition at this age, its comfort and reassurance as they are getting more independent but can come back and check in with mum.

If you don't want to do it anymore, you don't have to, its your decision to make.

I am trying to introduce some nursing manners (Kellymom) as it seems really important to ds and solves lots of teething/bumps/sleep/tantrum issues.
