    I recently cut DS down from 4 feeds to 1. I basically said that 'boo' is only for dawn and if he asks for it tell him he has to wait and try and distract him. He has mostly been ok, a whinge for a minute or two but fairly easily distracted. He was getting sick in the last week and so did feed a couple of times over night but now that he seems to be ok I will be cutting him back again.

    i resently stoped feeding at 2 years 8 months for the same reasons i had simly had enough - i decided one day after she had been at care all day my boobs were simply Broken - this was a girl who if u let her would feed 6 maybe 10 times a day no joke . and i stuck to me guns and it took all my will but one month on she doesnt even ask for them - mums boobs are simply broken - to remind her i did get a couple of bandaids and put one on each side for about a week not over the nipple simply up a bit so u could just see the edges through a tshirt - it woked for us i had seriously had enough .

    Thanks for your replies. I will try what you suggested.

    I think I'm just a sucker and can't resist a cute little "boobie please" , even though I don't really want to do it ITMS.

    Oh well, let's see how we go. Thanks again.
