Sorry to post this here, but I did not think I would get much traffic on the GB this late.
My little monkey just turned 2 the end of Feb. He has been nursing 1-2 times a day. He went through a spell where he was only nursing 1 time, and sometimes skipping days, but is back up to 1-2 times.
Anywhooo...The past couple weeks his nursing seesions have lasted forever. I mean, way long! I kind of feel like I am nursing a newbie again! I don't have much milk anymore so after a while it does become a little bit uncomfortable. The past 3 days or so after he has nursed a good while (30 minutes or so) I will offer him something else rice milk, a snack, some cuddles with a book, etc. Nothing. If I try to unlatch him he clamps on for all it is worth and I can hardly get him off, and if I do he screams bloody murder, and throws himself in the floor. I can count on him being a abear for at least a hour after that!
DH is not much help on the nursing tantrums as he just says "He is 2. Just wean him.":rolleyes: He does not say to much to me about it, but makes comments when we are around my family. Keeping in mind, he has come a long way from thinking it was so strange to nurse past a year. He was quite supportive for this 2nd year, but *snap* DS turns 2, and he thinks we should be done now. :(
I don't mind him nursing at all, but he is wanting to sit and nurse for over a hour at a time, if not more than that. He did have a cold the end of last week, so maybe he is still not feeling good or something.
First time nursing a 25 month old here, so thought on this are welcome!
On a different note. He had his well baby checkup today and he is finally up to a whopping 24lbs! Up 2 lbs from just a couple months ago, and is 38 inches tall! He was 95% in height and like 8% in weight. lol.
They did give him some reflux meds for throwing up, and being uncomfortable some after meals. He also, very often, gets up with a cough, and throws up because he is coughing so hard at night a lot. She thinks that maybe it is more due to the reflux than than his borderline asthma, which was kind of a relief to me. So maybe the meds with help with that too.
