Has my 10 month old had enough of the boob? :(

As of the last week or so my 10 month old is turning away from the boob, sometimes taking one side only, sometimes not even that, only a few gulps of one side. Up until now it was all of each side, every time.
He has three solid meals a day and BF's morn, mid afternoon and bed time plus a dream feed.
He has been teething but that never stopped him before....
I've tried a darkened room etc, makes no difference where/when/how.

What's going on? Is this it? The thought of him stopping makes me sad (ironic if you knew how much I was dreading BFing before I had him)

:( it can be really sad. and you worry because you are not sure what is happening. has something happened? he might just be changing his habits a bit? or going through a busy developmental period?
is he turning away from all of the feeds? can you see a pattern? sometimes the molars are quite painful. can you try some paracetamol and then a big pre-nap feed if you think its his teeth? - i think sometimes their jaw hurts.
they can do this tho and then decide they want to up the frequency again. he's unlikely to be fully weaning at this age. hth
