...and I'm not ready
. I really wanted to make it to at least 2. He's never been a super booby baby though he likes it well enough. In the past couple of months, he's down to about 3-4 nursing sessions a day steady. I WOH and I always nurse first thing in the morning, as soon as I get home from work (about 3 ish), then before dinner, then again at bedtime. Of course if he needs another session he can have it.
But in the past 2 weeks or so, he is really fussing at the breast at the bedtime session a lot. He'll latch and suckle for maybe 2 minutes or so and then arch and squirm to get down. He will not nurse to sleep anymore and that was always a sure thing. Part of it is that he's been in a daddy mood lately and he's trying to stay up to wait for DH to get home.
The morning session is still fine. The 2 day sessions are so so . He'll latch on and off for 10 minutes because he's too into playing
. He never asks (non verbally because he's not verbal) for nummies at all. I've always anticipated his need to nurse in the past and I've continued to do so. I feel like if I never offer it, he'd never ask and that makes me sad.
So does this sound like a stage that will pass or is he possibly trying to wean? I hear about all these toddlers who nurse constantly and here I am with the guy that would rather have chicken!
Any words of wisdom?
