Hi Mamas,

 

I am having a  hard time getting my 17 month old to breastfeed for longer than a few seconds at time.  He tells me he wants to nurse, but then starts in with the acrobatics, constant switching sides and won't settle down, relax and just nurse.  I can tell my milk supply is dwindling and I am worried as I am not ready to stop breastfeeding.  Do you think that this is a phase, teething or a reaction to low milk supply?  I am really stressed out about this as we have been battling milk and soy allergies and I do not yet have a substitute for him in lieu of breast milk. :(
