My son is driving me absolutely nuts with nursing right now. The constant twiddling with my other nipple.. the waking up when I try to sneak away for work after nursing him back down. I just am so SICK of my breasts being touched/nursed on right now. Last night I couldn’t take it and rolled to the other side of the bed and wouldn’t let him nurse while we were sleeping. It just freaking hurts and is making me super annoyed every time he is at my breast. I told myself I was going to give him until the end of April before I cold turkey him but man I am not sure my sanity can last that long. I also fear what cold turkey will do to his sleeping at night though. 😩

It sounds like you're done, so be done for good. If it's not working for both of you then it's time to end it. There is no real reason he should be nursing at the moment unless it's making both of you happy. It may take him some time to adjust overnight, but he will get it eventually.

I am done but I know how much of s comfort thing it is for him and part of me feels bad for wanting to take it away before he is ready. I just planned on quitting when I have a week off of work next month and also when I have to ability to get him out of my bed (we live in a one bedroom currently).

Redirect him during the day. This exact thing happened to me when I got pregnant. For night I just put him in the room with his sister's and he did good.

@gecko_mom yea, you could try and put distance while playing and tell him not right now milk or whatever you use is asleep right now... It's tough. Mine started hurting and I noticed myself telling them not right now with a tone and I would take them to my parents house so they were distracted. Hopefully your boobs make it through 😄😉 They will!! You might be a little unhappy for a bit. Honestly I still feel full and wish I had a second feeder! 🤣🤣

@scidg3, lol Going from two feeders to just one must have been a bit weird. I am always in awe of multiples moms! I feel he won’t understand though if I try to explain. :/ But I am hoping that while we are at my dad’s for five months I will have plenty to distract him with to help make it easier. Being cooped up inside with no park time since November due to weather had been freaking awful.

I don't know what to do with just one! 🤣 Ugh so true about the weather! Good luck!
