23 month DD feeding all the bloody time......Help!

[grobagsforever]

I'm sick of DD pulling at my top and saying milk...milk. Sonetimes she will do it two or three times an hour....but always only a couple of mins feed. I don't really want to demand feed anymore. I want to do morning, nap time and bedtime. She manages fine at nursery three days a week. It's just a bit embarrassing in front of childless friends etc....I know, I know perfectly natural but I'm fed up! Any tips?

Has she always done this or just suddenly started it recently? My daughter's been gone through a phase of wanting to be fed a lot but she's not feeding much/at all at night like she always had. I find that distraction helps, especially going out and about rather than being in houses.

My 23 month old is pretty much the same. She feeds about 3 times a morning and several more times in the afternoon. However she rarely feeds at bedtime or through the night.
i am trying the 'don't offer, don't refuse' technique to help her self wean. It is a long process but better then cold turkey.
If you really don't like feeding her in public then you need a good supply of snacks and drinks to distract her. High necked tops can be a barrier to them just diving down your top.

my dd is 2.2 and is much the same. i do find she's easy to put off (with a simple 'no, not now' or distraction with chocolate buttons healthy organic fruit snacks. If she's insistent I do let her have it, and she always feeds to sleep. If I actually make sure she reaaaally wants it then she will feed at night a few times, and then once for nap and then not till bed time. If i'm distracted, she'll feed every hour or so for about 10 seconds.

Ds is two and getting molars so feeding all the time. Plenty old enough to learn bf manners though. I ask him not to pull at my clothes and ask me instead - he does milk sign (open and close fist) so few people know what it means. Also I say later and distract if I don't feel comfortable doing it. If you want to limit it, limit it.

Can you maybe introduce a rule that says you must be in a certain place (chair next to bed?) for a boob? Would your dc be able to understand the rule? You'd have to stick to it - not always easy in the short term but worth it.
