grrrr.my 9 mth old is going through a really annoying phase of constantly wanting to breastfeed. its about every hour he wants to suck. and i usually enjoy bfing but its driving me insane right now! im meant to be cutting down as part of a long weaning process, but it seems to be going up!
he has got 2 teeth just coming through right now, could it be that? hes so clingy and demanding right now. grrrrrr.

It could very well be the teeth - sucking sometimes brings relief from the pain as well as comfort when they aren't feeling good.

It will pass.

i know, and im being impatient and mean. i dont usually mind him needing me more or feeding so much. my dp is poorly too and think im just feeling a bit demanded-of! it will pass, im sure!
he's also just started to walk, and i think its an insecurity thing related to his newfound independance.

Growth spurt? Seems to be a common time for one, 9 months.
