So, does something happen at this age??
DD had been down to nursing just a few times during the day... while she was waking up, an hour after being up, nap time and bed time (and then night nursing).
She then teethed her canines, and of course was nursing more... just like any other time she got her teeth. She's done teething, though. All her teeth are in, alllll the way in. She is asking to nurse like every ten seconds. Ok.. maybe just every five minutes. ;-) Oh, and to make matters more interesting, she is now bringing me her doll, and stuffed puppy to nurse!!
So, what's the deal?? I saw in a different thread some people were saying their nurslings were nursing more in the second year than as new borns. What's the reason? Is it b/c they are moving towards more independence, but just want to know that mommy is there still?
I had been planning on weaning her after her teeth came in, which seems to be know, but I had expected her to be requesting to nurse this much... I'm not sure how to wean now.
