ds is nursing like crazy out of no where

[kehliouise]

so yesturday and today ds has taken it upon himself to start nursing during the day again. he is 33 months old now and hasn't nursed during the day in probably 9 months or more. now all day long he is coming up to me saying, "eat?" it is really driving me nuts. i haven't enjoyed him nursing at all since i got pregnant this time. it hurt really bad for him to in the beginning and then i started developing a naseuous feeling everytime he nursed, but i got over it because he only nursed right before he went to sleep and in the morning. in november he decided he didn't have to nurse to sleep he just had to nurse for like two seconds before he went to sleep and it has been great since then and now today and yesturday it is making me crazy. i'm wondering if he just wants to be close to me or something because he senses the time is getting near to share with his brother. i just sometimes wonder if he even gets that he is going to have a brother soon, so i don't know.

Or maybe he just wants to help labor along with nipple stimulation!

(That's what I keep telling myself when DS1 nurses all day (those few days I'm home with him). DS isn't old enough to say "eat" -- in fact, he has NO words at all. Instead, he puts both hands on my face and shoves me back when he wants to nurse -- can you tell we do most of our nursing lying down? And if I "listen" and lie down and lift my shirt he gives the most delighted crow.)

My 2yr old ds started the same thing about a month ago or so in fact I'm NAK right now. He only nursed at nap times and occasionally in the middle of the night and now all I hear is "Milk" "Milk" Its driving me crazy too and he is starting MAJOR contractions today that almost knock me over, but then they don't go anywhere
