Obsessed

My 26 month old DS is obsessed with bfing. It's starting to totally get on my nerves. He only has it at bedtime and in the morning along with his baby sister.

When I pick him up from nursery, he's asking for it all the way home. We get in the door, he's asking for it all the way to bed. When I make him clean his teeth and get into pyjamas, he goes mental with upset at the thought of any delay. Even DH wonders why he is obsessed with it and gets frantic about it.

Is this odd behaviour or does anyone else's child feel the same way? Will it pass? I don't really want to bf him beyond 3. I'm already irritated by it.

how old is the baby? Could he see her as taking up your time with bfeeding and he wants to get your attention by asking for bf too. When did he start the obsession?

Baby is 8 weeks. DS has always been v. keen on bfing though and was like this before the baby arrived.

I'd like to stop but he seems so very very upset whenever I say no that I worry he'll feel totally rejected esp. with the new baby about. His obsession bothers me though. At every opportunity, he'll bf if he could.
