Re: Clingy 18 month old wants to nurse 24-7
I totally understand. Feels like my lo @21 mos has days like that. And over all I feel like she is nursing so much right now! But all my babies nursed on demand and comfort nursed as none of them took a paci. So, onward we go. But I hope this is just a growth spurt, and the nonstop nursing will lessen. My lo is not a big eater either, and our 2 week attempt at night nursing was foiled by a 2 day fever! So, I'm back to square 1. But, I def think she nursed much more during the day when we had an entire night without nursing. So that just might work itself out as your lo gets adjusted to the "new normal" as stated above. Its almost as if they feel like they have to fight to hang on to their precious milk, a good indicator they are no where near ready to wean totally.
