[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve stayed out of my wife’s decision to keep breastfeeding our daughter whenever she wants but it’s now becoming a problem.  My wife and I both work from home (with a nanny) so I can hear my daughter crying for “best” [breast].  It’s the only time she cries all day long.  If my wife can’t take her immediately, my daughter sons like she’s been rejected.  My wife can’t sit for one minute with my daughter without nursing.  My older child, 3.5, resents it and our nanny is getting tired of it.  My wife has tried to only nurse at certain times but just gives in and nurses whenever my daughter wants to.

Can I ask her to stop?  I know it’s supposedly a horrible thing to do but it’s my child too and I hate to see her miserable.  [/quote]

You can insist on boundaries and rules but breastfeeding a 20month old is not in and of itself harmful. The lack of boundaries are. [/quote]

np The only person who can set the boundaries is the mother.  [/quote]
