DD is on three meals a day but also still bfs morning, mid afternoon and before bed. She has now got into the habit of finishing a feed but wanting to just come back and suck on my nipple while she dozes. If I don't let her she screams and pulls down my top and really gets upset. To some extent I know there's no harm in it but this would go on for hours if I let her and eventually I have to pull her away and try to distract her (to an accompaniment of screams and flailing arms.
I will always let her cuddle up to me if she wants to so it is not the only way she gets to be close to me. I really need some strategies to stop her as I am going back to work next month and she seems to be becoming more dependent not less! I have tried distracting with toys or food and cuddling her close but holding onto my top so she can't get to the nipple.
Does anyone have any experience of this or ideas of how to stop it? Thank you in advance!
