So tired of being abused...

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

My dd is 13 months old. She has always been kind of high needs / spirited / clingy.  I cried for months after I had her everytime she nursed because she had a terrible latch but we got through it and she was exclusively breastfed for 10 months.  (Still breastfed but also eating solids). I know she is a baby still but she is so bitey, pinchey, kicky, everything. I have bruises all over my belly and breasts from her pinching and kicking me. She won't sit still to nurse. Her latest thing is that she wants to nurse from one side while pinching my other nipple. If I don't let her, she screams. I am tempted to wean but I know she's not ready yet but I'm tired of her hurting me all the time. I try to demonstrate nice touch but even though she loves to be held, she doesn't really like to be touched if that makes any sense.  She will never just sit nicely with me unless she is sleeping. She is very loud and screams like a banshee every time she doesn't get her way.  We are moving to Korea in two months (military move) and I need to kind of tame this a little bit now before things get crazy. Any advice?

hug2.gif Have you tried a nursing necklace? You may get some more ideas if you post in Breastfeeding about teaching nursing manners. Good Luck!
