Sounds like your ds is doing something called reverse cycling. He is too busy and distractable during the day to nurse, and I bet even if you try to go inot a dark quiet room during the day, he will not nurse for long?
This is extremely common! Tell your dh it is common and normal and it will pass, when baby gets more mature.
Some toddlers, at around 12 mos, will learn how to be able to nurse during the day and still be able to follow the action. it is a brain development thing. Plus wen they start walking, and falling down and getting hurt a lot, comfort nursing increases.
they also eventualy learn to be less acrobatic when they nurse.
If dh is cranky b/c he misses you at night, well, join the club! How about an afternoon quicky on the weekend during naptime?
We even started renting a hotel room for 1 12/ hours, when we finally started getting babysitters!
