Situation:
tandom nursing a 6 month old and 2 yr 9 month old ds... ds wants to nurse more than baby and has been causing me pain when he nurses i'd say 80% of the time. baby has weight issues so i need to focus on her but my son will just scream and scream and tear at my clothes and follow me around if i try to put off nursing him. dh is deployed so no help there. my biggest issue is when like this morning he wants to nurse very frequently at night so I'm in alot of pain and I'm tired... it got to a point where I was trying to go back to sleep for a nap and he's nursing every 10 minutes. I do not deal well when I'm overtired and have been a victim of sexual abuse/rape in the past so the ripping at my clothes things really gets to me. now that i'm up and not trying to sleep he nursed and is happily playing in the next room but if i tried to sleep again he'd be all over me. If i try to go to a different area he just follows and does the same things. I want to let him decide when to wean and he's very strong willed so cutting back does't seem to be working. has anyone else dealt with this? any tips on working with him so he's not hurting me? his latch seems fine so I don't know why its hurting. sorry for such a rant but I feel so just irritated and want to scream!Â
