I've been breast feeding since 2009, without a break. Not even one day.

I've loved it but I must say now, honestly I am pretty over being pawed at on an hourly basis by my toddler.

The over night feeds are killing me because she feeds all night long and at 2, has enough fight in her to make me saying no a very loud, long drawn out reaction, at all hours of the morning.

I have tried to night wean for weeks now but in the early mornings, relent because I cannot face the lack of sleep it results in. I become very cranky and impatient but then I also become the same when feeding because I am getting my free nipple pinched and I'm feeling pretty used.

This is kinda a vent, kinda a call for reassurance.

I feel so overwhelmed. I feel like I want to dry up my milk artificially. I'm exhausted.

For anyone out there that has fed for a long period of time - did you have any similar feelings? Were you over it at some point?
