Does anyone have any suggestions on how to? A friend reccommended rubbing them with aloe, I tried it and my ds seems to like it, although I was told it was really horrible. I don't want to do hot pepper, too mean for me. And it seems like just saying no turns him into a junky. He nurses more now than he did as a newborn!! Anytime I sit, he thinks it's time for na-na and he is violent about trying to get it. It throws him into kicking screaming fits if I say no. Keep in mind when I say no, it's usually because he just drained them both within the last 30 min. I don't really want to wean him, but cutting down doesn't seem to be an option for him. HE'S A TOTAL ADDICT. HE CAN'T HAVE JUST A SUCK!! Too bad there isn't a boobies anonymous meeting for him. . . I also would like to TTC when he's 3 and would like a little time to do some fasting, cleansing, etc. before getting prego. Any hints or stories of what's worked for you would be great. Thanks mamas!!

I would start redirecting his attention in the day time to begin wiht, and make sure he has plenty of snacks/drinks etc - where clothing he cant take off you too!!
