Since returning to work I have been feeding my 11 month old boy in the morning when he wakes up and a little before bed. On my days off he sometimes gets a little extra and this has been working fine. Over the past week, we've all been off with some horrid nuseryitus and he's barely eaten anything (he usually eats vast quantities)so I've been breast feeding him a lot more which he seems to have found comforting. The only problem is he has now become totally obsessed with the breast! He is eating a lot more now, but still wants breast milk and gets into an enormous rage if i try and offer him formula or water (things he previously enjoyed.) He was back at nursery yesterday and was fine whilst there, but when he is with me he has a one track mind. Last night he woke at 1.30am for a feed (usually sleeps through)so I gave him one, but then when I tried to remove my nipple (my breasts were empty and he wasn't drinking)he had an enormous screaming tantrum - bashing me with his little hands, headbutting me, trying to pull down my top etc. This morning I have had to constantly divert him to new activities to distract him.
Does anyone have any advice on re-weaning? I have had to send him off with his Daddy today as I felt under siege!
