Started nursery this week- toddler wants to breastfeed constantly

[Khtchkn]

Hello. On Monday and Tuesday my 14 month old started nursery and hated it. Last night he cried inconsolably for 3hrs, i don’t think it was the heat as whenever I breastfed him he’d fall asleep on me, and when I tried put him back in the cot he screamed. He went to sleep at 7.30pm, woke up at 9pm, cried till 12am.. then slept and woke up every 1.5hr till 6.30am and I gave up. All of those times I had to breastfeed him. He wouldn’t settle to my husband. My son has been sleeping from 7.30pm - 8.30am every day and now it’s gone out the window. I just put him down for his nap and I had to breastfed him for around 1hr bcos everytime I tried take him off he’d protest. I finally let him sleep on me deeply then I moved him to his cot.
He eats a lot of solids, In his typical day I don’t usually breastfed a lot, and I’m surprised I still have milk in me. I only breastfeed everyday for his afternoon nap, and for his bedtime. He falls asleep within 5min no proble and I put him down drowsy. Now it’s impossible. Is this usual????? I’m thinking it’s to do with him starting nursery and adjusting to it

Yes it could be nursery - combined with the awfully hot weather (if you are in one of the 30+ degree areas anyway). Does your DC have to go to nursery? Did you have settling in sessions or did he go straight in for full days? How have staff said he is during the day when you are not there?

He had 2x settlement days for 2hrs each... yesterday and the day before was his full days. He only goes twice a week. They said he was v upset, and refused to eat..when I drop him off in the morning he bursts out crying both times, but the times I bring him back home he’s in a very happy/cheerful mood where he’s laughing, so it’s not like it completely ruined his mood?! I don’t know... yes the heat definitely is contributing. I think he might be a bit ill too, he just woke up from his nap coughing to the point where he gagged, so he might be ill too.... only the second day at nursery 🤦🏻‍♀️ I applied for nursery when I was 4 months pregnant and was on a 1 year waiting list. If I’d take him out I’d have to wait another year at least and i couldn’t do that whilst working 😞
