[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often is she nursing?
I’m an extended nurser, but I think clearly your daughter is just mad that she’s with the nanny and knows that mom is guaranteed to come out if she asks to nurse. I think if your wife were actually with her all day, she wouldn’t demand this much milk. I think if you want your daughter to accept the nanny’s care, you have to stick to set nursing times. Maybe at first it can be every 2 hours even! Make it a clear routine.[/quote]

I’m the father/husband.  No, my daughter is with my wife three days a week and it’s exactly the same.  She wants to nurse when she wants to nurse even in the car seat.  She cried for mommy and signs milk.

My wife cannot adhere to any routine regarding breastfeeding.

Thank you everyone for responding.  [/quote]

OP, do you give bottles of pumped breast milk?  Or has your wife been doing all the feeding so far?  If you do give bottles, how does your daughter react to being offered a bottle instead of nursing?

Does your wife *want* to adhere to a routine regarding breastfeeding?  I think there was an earlier PP who suggested you need to understand what your wife wants; I think that person is onto something.[/quote]

No bottles of pumped milk - no bottles at all since she was about 12 months and drinking water and cows milk from an open cup.

My wife says she would like to wean but does enjoy breastfeeding.  I’m thinking more in terms of what us best for my daughter [/quote]
