Hello fellow extended breastfeeders!

[Breezy]

My son is almost 14 months and I believe is in need of a bit of nursing etiquette. He is started to demand to nurse in an aggressive manner. He will try to open my shirt or will have a tantrum if I can not nurse him the instant he wants to. I also have 3 year old twins so it is not always possible for me to drop what I am doing to nurse him. The sign language sign for milk is what we use for nurse and he does still sign it but if will quickly throw a tantrum if his signing for milk does not result in instabood directly in his mouth! He is currently nursing about 4 times a day and 2 at night but would prefer to nurse more if I let him. I wanted to start not offering but not refusing with him but unfortunately I am having to refuse sometimes because it is not a good time or he is not asking in a nice way. He is aso becoming very jealous of the twins and will kick at them when they are sitting with me while he nurses or try to push them out of my lap when he's not nursing. I don't know what to do because they all need me at the same time all the time! Any suggestions?

That sounds just like my ds.
Let me say it does get better.
My ds is 19 months now and has learned that sometimes it is not a good time to nurse.
For instance, today in church he wanted to nurse and started reaching down my shirt.
We had just nursed an hour before at the house and I knew he didn't NEED to nurse but was just bored.
I just tried distracting him by singing songs the choir was singing, letting him draw etc.
That worked for about 20 minutes and then I took him to the nursery.
He just wanted to play then so I knew he was wanting to nurse out of boredom.
Just be consistent and don't lose your patience.
At 14 months your lo doesn't understand time real well.
I know mine at 19 months is starting to understand when I say wait just a minute or in a few minutes.
I hope this helps a little.
