Exausted from nursing my 2yo infant

[WannabeaFarmer]

That may sound funny, but I wanted to ask if anyone else went through this around the age of 2? DD has been nursing like an infant on demand for like almost a month now. Could it be her 2yr molars? It seems like something emotional. That may sound weird, but I think she nurses more when she senses that I am stressed. Its a comfort thing when that happens, but this is getting to the point that I am perminatly exausted. When she was little, it did relax me quite a bit to breastfeed her, and now since she is such a strong nursling, it just really knocks me out. I drink TONS of water and eat right.
I just cant seem to take her nursing so often, its just exausting. She finally went back to not night nursing a few days ago. So now its just during the day....:
So just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I'm right in the midst of it with my 25 mo. old. I swear sometimes it's like she's a newborn again. My being 32 weeks pregnant is also making this particularly challenging. I just feel like sleeping all the time...

DD got her molars early, but yes, she did the same thing pretty much when she got hers. She was night weaned and no longer co-sleeping at that point, but it was all day if I was home and she was super cranky if I wasn't feeling up to nursing. She developed a liking for ice in her sippy cup of water around that point. You might try that to help your DC's gums.
