Hi, I am pregnant, and am nursing my 8-month old. I am not experiencing any pain yet, but my daughter has just gotten 2 teeth and is testing biting my nipple. Ouch! A woman from my 8-month old mothering board is having lots of pain.

here are my two pieces of advice that got me through nursing through 2 pregnancies.
1. Count. Ask your child "Should we count to 10 or 20 (or pick another number) and then nurse as long as you count.
2. The Milker Chair. We had one specific place where we nursed, a rocking chair in the bedroom. If they wanted to nurse, that's where we did it. So if they were playing and asked to nurse I would say "Let's go to the milker chair!" and sometimes it just wouldn't be worth it to them to stop and go. There was also eventually the "out of sight, out of mind" factor.
I also bribed shamelessly if I couldn't stand it, but I don't think that's to be recommended.

I'm nursing a 16 month old and it's driving me crazy! It's painful, but mostly annoying. Since he's really only nursing to sleep, I just want to sleep, but he's now waking up several time's a night if he's not in my arms. He can be sleeping right next to me and he still wakes up crying because he wants to nurse. I'm feeling soooo

: and I wish I could just sleep. My oldest son self weaned at a little over age 1 and also transitioned into his own bed at the age of 1 1/2. I don't see this happening with my youngest, he wont even talk yet (except for "There it is" when we hide something). Ok, this has turned into a rant

I'm nursing my 17 month old millions of times per day (it feels like it!) and so far haven't noticed any changes. I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow and am not sore at all and my supply seems the same. I am really hoping it stays like this. I really don't want discomfort and I really, really, really don't want to loose my milk. I have planned on nursing atleast until age 2 and the baby is due when he is 25 months so tandeming just might be what happens
