Angry with 2 year old while nursing

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I am nursing my 26 month old and my 7 month old and to be honest I just feel overused! My 2 year old thinks it's really funny to bite and stay latched on when I get over-stimulated and ask her to stop. It is absolutely infuriating. She begs "Mama Nursers? Nursers? NUUURRSSERRRSSS!?!?!?!" ALL DAY LONG and then when she does get to nurse she won't let go, she bites, she kicks. Ugh, I just want to be done. It used to be really enjoyable for us, but not so much now. If I didn't have another baby nursing I would cold turkey wean the 2 year old NOW. I just feel bad weaning her when she will be seeing sister nurse all day everyday for a while still. I don't know what to do, but I am at a limit here. I have tried counting and all that and she doesn't go for it anymore. She just giggles and bites. Today I really wanted to spank her to get her OFF OF ME. (and for the record, no we do not spank) Any btdt or advice?

I went through sort of the same thing... I just set some limits for my then 2 yr old. He is three now. I explained to him that since he could eat food, he didnt need to nurse all the time like the baby did. he could nurse at sleeping times. He nursed in bed only. So, for naps and going to bed or just waking up. he stopped asking during the day pretty quickly as long as he knew he had those other times to count on. Now he only nurses to go to sleep at night. He doesnt nap anymore and doesnt care about nursing in the morning.
