Stressed out with demanding 10mo

Dd had cut down her bfs to one before bed and one (often quite extended) 1st thing. In the last few days she has been back to pawing at me, pulling down my top and latching on all the time and screaming when I try to stop her. She is well hydrated and drinks plenty of water (which I constantly offer her). I wouldn't mind if I had to reinstate one feed but she wants to do it all the time, every ten minutes she will be climbing up for a feed. I am at work three days a week so really worried about this regression. Is it just the hot weather do you think? What can I do to refocus her? Thanks

I wouldn't worry too much unless you really don't want to breast feed any more. They go through stages of being on you constantly like a newborn sometimes. mine is 19 months old and often has just 2 feeds a day but will now and then want boob all day long. Maybe teething or coming down with something, unsettled or yes hot weather. I think your body copes better with the fluctuating demand and supply after breast feeding this long in so you shouldn't be too bad on your work days. If you're ok with it, go with it x

It's probably a combination of the hot weather and "making the most of you" while you're there and not at work.
