I'm still nursing my 2 year old little girl but it's starting to become a source of frustration for me and my LO. She hardly feeds during the day anymore but still wants to nurse to sleep and when she wakes up. She also wakes up several times through the night. She used to just wake up, have a quick feed, and go back to sleep. Now she wants to nurse on both sides and even then she will cry wanting more. It's really uncomfortable for me now when she's just comfort sucking. I don't know if she's hungry and wants more milk or if she just wants the comfort. She eats quite well during the day and if I offer her water in the night she refuses. I've tried explaining to her that there's no more milk and mummy's boobies need to go to sleep but she doesn't get it and is getting more and more upset when I tell her she can't have anymore milk. I'm not sure what to do anymore. I feel like it might be best for everyone if we stopped completely but I'd ideally like to be feeding her just before bed and in the morning when she wakes up. I don't know how to stop her nursing in the night though without her screaming the place down.
