It's starting to get me down. It's start of a 4 day weekend and I'm pretty sure I'll be having an emotional breakdown come Monday if this doesn't stop...

Jazz does fine during the 8-9 hours of the day, 5 days a week when I am at work. I feed her when she wakes up, and after dinner and it seems to do her fine. Shel gets her to sleep durng the day with just patting/rocking, everything is peaceful and calm. Night time sometimes she goes to sleep on her own (well without me feeding her anyway), sometimes she needs feeding.

And then BAM weekend hits and she wants me to feed her constantly. She has already asked four times this morning. FOUR! And its only 10am. She got up at 6am!

I can just see where its heading, me feeding her to sleep this morning... she wakes up and still wants it... all afternoon...

I just don't want to, you know. That sounds horrible but she's almost 20 months old and I know she does NOT need me to feed her so much during the day. Especially not as much as she wants me too! As soon as I sit down with her, she's at me wanting me to feed her. If I don't she cries. She's whingey. She pulls at my shirt, and then throws herself on the ground...

Making me feel even worse is Shel in the background saying "She's not like this when you aren't here" I've already said that isn't helpful but the damage is done, I already feel like crap.

What can I do? Distracting isn't doing anything, if *I* am distracting her, trying to play, she remembers every five minutes and its really frustrating, it's like I have to beat her off with a stick! Honestly! And I don't want Shel to be the one distracting her because I want to play with her and spend time with her. I try to offer water, but apparently thats not good enough!

I wanted to let her lead the way to weaning, I want to not have this traumatic screaming tantruming every time she thinks she wants to feed. I'm thinking this might be it really, I don't want our time together to be battling with this. I don't think its a phase as she's always been a bit of a boob addict, it's just annoying me more now that I don't see her much its like all she wants from me is to feed her and I just want to spend quality time with her
