I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so mods please feel free to move it.<br><br>
I don't know what is wrong with my baby lately. She's been going through a phase that I can't leave the room or she cries. She just turned 6 months on the 21st of April. Now... I can't put her down... and everytime I hold her, she wants to nurse. But she's not really nursing... she'll nurse for a couple of minutes and then do that painful yank off thing, then return to nurse, etc. It's almost like she's seeking strictly comfort nursing.<br><br>
She's been doing the same thing at night (the comfort nursing). Last night I counted and she woke up 18 times in 9 hours!!! This is the FOURTH night in a row that she's done this. I am a walking zombie.<br><br>
I have nothing against comfort nursing, but my nipples are RAW from the sheer quantity lately.<br><br>
She's been trying to get a tooth (a white bump in her gum) for 3 weeks now. But I find it hard to believe that a tooth would cause this "attachment" to mom lately.<br><br>
I don't know what to do. I can't hold her all day long... I do have to go to the bathroom! I can't sling her anymore (she weighs too much and I have previous fractures to my back... it just doesn't work) I don't know what else to do....<br><br>
Anyone else experience this? And any suggestions? She's so crabby because she's so exhausted.... but I just don't know what to do <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/bigeyes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="bigeyes">
