problem is though she doesnt have set feeds. she usually just climbs up whenever she wants. its all very random. maybe i will try and only let her have some at set times and then start dropping those out one by one. she seriously doesnt do it for any nutrients or drink/feed she does it for comfort and a cuddle (apart from over night she does it to get back to sleep). she has a cup of milk at lunch usually but doesnt love it but downs a bottle of cows milk before bed. i think it is just a habit for the both of us.
thanks for your input.
Distraction always works a treat here for other things, they are easily side tracked the little dears. One of my fav's is 'oh look at the birdies outside' and off she would go and forget.
if she is doing it for comfort and cuddles maybe you could replace it with something else that gives you that closeness, like reading a book or something else she enjoys that is quite and close to you. Distraction is great for DD too!
We now tell her that Boobie is for bed times only, which she gets, although sometimes in the begining she would say, ''ok, can i go to bed now then''
I think if you started by having set 'feed' times you could then start cutting them out. DS was ok with that as I would say to him no 'boo' now but we can have some later... goodluck
