non stop nurser at night!

Sounds normal to me. Why are you trying to put her off? A 2 month old needs to nurse when she needs to nurse. Can you read to your 2 year old? Put the 2 month old in a sling so you can nurse while doing other things? That's what I did when my 2nd was little and needed to nurse all the time and I had an older child who needed me.

And if your nipples get sore from it, maybe you should see a LLL leader or a lactation consultant. At 2 months, you should not be getting sore nipples.

i have a cluster feeder on my hands too. at that age he wanted (and did) nurse from 4 pm-11 pm. my nipples still hurt at 8 weeks too, but that was the tail end of the pain. i also recommend a sling.

just go with it and try to accept this is the way things are. it will change soon!

My 10 month old nurses alot at night! He has always been more of a night nurser. He normally nurses for a good 30min when falling asleep , then its about 20 min ever 2-3 hrs. Some nights he will sleep longer, just depends. I think alot of his is comfort nursing at night.

Ha, I got you beat! I've got a 10 week old frequent nurser, a 3.5 yo, and a 21 month old (all girls, btw). Talk about competing for mama's attention. My very high needs 21 mo finds it VERY hard to give up mama's lap where she is used to. She doesn't nurse anymore, but she will get very cross if her older sister is in her spot right next to me on the couch (because I'm at the end where the recliner part is, I don't have room on both sides of me).

Actually, it's eased up somewhat, but the 8 week mark was really hard. That growth spurt seems to take forever. The only thing to do is go with it and try to read stories or tell stories about your older child.
