Sorry if it's a bit long-winded. I had to share a room with dd til she was 21 months (bf til 13 months), in my mum's house, who wouldn't tolerate her crying, meaning we have ended up co-sleeping every night just to keep the peace with everyone. Now we have our own place with a double bed this is not such an issue at home and I am still ok with it, although we still stay in single bed at mum's once a week so I can go to work and leave dd with her- she has a put-up bed too but if I bother with that we just end up playing musical beds all night. The thing that is finally beginning to grate though is that, since I stopped breastfeeding, dd (now 30 months) has insisted on asking for 'booby' and holding and/or squeezing one or both of my boobs, as a comforter in order to settle to sleep. She does this when she's tired, incl. when we're out as well. If I refuse, even if I stay lying next to her, she gets v. upset and will not settle. Any possible relatively pain-free solutions to weaning her off 'booby'? I've tried giving her various blankies/special soft toys for bed but she hasn't got attached to anything. Or can I expect her to grow out of this in the next year (please!)?
