If you’ve breastfed your child into toddlerhood, that’s a huge accomplishment. But you may want to set some gentle limits on your toddler’s nursing, and that's okay!
Breastfeeding is a relationship. All relationships evolve and grow. Just like your relationship with a friend isn’t the same as when you first met, it’s okay that your breastfeeding relationship changes over time.
If you resent breastfeeding your child and are annoyed every time they ask, that doesn’t mean you’re a bad mother. That simply means that you need a break.
Don't allow twiddling. You can gently hold your toddler’s hand to stop them from twiddling, or you can even get a nursing necklace with chunky beads that your baby can play with.
Don’t sit in the usual nursing spot. Your child associates that place with mama milk, so they’re going to expect access when you’re there. Help them not think about nursing by staying somewhere else.
Cut down the number of nursing sessions. If you feel like you’d be more comfortable with nursing if you have a bit more control over when, then you might want to designate specific times to nurse.
