This is getting incredibly frustrating for me, because DD used to not be this way. But within the last month or so, everytime something does not go her way she says "I need to nursie to feel better." If I try to comfort her in other ways, she just gets hysterical. If she is physically hurt, she doesnt need to nurse. But if her feelings are hurt, if you tell her no, if plans changed, if there is any type of emotional upset, she cant deal with it without nursing. She will be 4 in March, and, like I said, this is a new thing for her.
We havent had any type of major change in our lives. We have talked about being done nursing when she turns 4, but SHE is the one who said she would be done at 4, because thats when her older cousin was done. She is also really scared of everything. She used to be ridiculously independent and brave. She can't handle being alone anywhere in the house, she wont play outside without me right next to her, but thats thanks to our lovely maintinence men. Towards the end of the summer, she was playing outside with her friend when the maintinence men drove their golf cart maintinence trucks up on the sidewalks, right behind the girls. It scared the crap out of her, and she has never gotten over it. But it wasnt for at least 2 months afterwards that this "nursie to feel better" thing started.
Oh, and now she is developing a studder. Actually, it was really bad 2 weeks ago, but its gotten signigicantly better. Now she only does it with the word "but". She repeat that word over and over and over again.
Alrighty, so any ideas? Has anybody been through anything similar? I would really like her to have some coping skills other than my breasts.
