Oh wise mumsnetters, please share your experiences, I don't know what to do.
DS has just turned 18 months and he just looooves boob. Up until just under 17 months, he loved it, but not quite so much as now. He would feed in the morning, two-three times during the day, and then before dinner. Then we went on a long holiday, saw lots of relatives, moved around, etc., and during this time (probably due to stress) he started asking for milk a lot more often. Now we have been home for over two weeks, but things are not getting better. When we are together for the whole day at weekends (otherwise, I work full-time and have done since he was 8m), he is asking for milk nearly every hour or more. If something upsets him he asks for boob. If he is bored he asks for boob. If I refuse, a massive tantrum follows. If I try to distract, it often works for 15 minutes max and then the tantrum continues. Sometimes distractions do work, but rarely. Lemon juice on boobs does not always stop the tantrum.
Does anyone have experience with this sort of behaviour? I was planning to wean by the time he was 2, but now thinking about it now as I am getting fed up. I love the cuddles and don't want to give it up, but its getting too much.
