[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]

Well, it seems like your daughter either needs an unusual amount of comforting or she knows that asking to nurse is the ticket out of anything she doesn’t want to do. Or maybe there’s something you don’t understand about the dynamic, and your wife would have a different story? Nursing a 20 mo isn’t bad, but obviously toddlers need to learn they can’t get whatever they want through crying. If mommy’s still work, she can’t nurse right then. That’s it.[/quote]
