I guess the subtle difference is, I was saying no to the bbs once it got too much for me, but not no to the comfort. So a quick drink of water and then lots of cuddles in our bed. By no means was I leaving her alone in her own bed or expecting her to quit me entirely, cold turkey! If she wanted me for comfort, she got it, just not the nipple bit. It's up to you to do what you feel comfortable with and what works for you. I don't know if I'd have persisted if it went on for a long time (the screaming) or she was clearly distressed, beyond just a general 'I'm really cross with what you're expecting of me now'. And I never stuck to this when she was ill, bb is on demand then.
