[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your wife is ok with comfort nursing, insulate your office. It’s her choice and she’ll transition as she can. [/quote]

But it annoys their other child and it isn’t fair.

I loved breastfeeding my kids but breastfeeding is for nourishment and not sacred.  All mammals wean.

I would be uncomfortable if my kids ever demanded my breast and felt rejected and heartbroken when I denied them. [/quote]

I think a fact or life of not being an only child is that sometimes your younger siblings will have wants/needs that “annoy” you and that sometimes it doesn’t seem “fair”. I imagine the 20 month old wouldn’t think it was fair to be weaned because her comfort and undivided attention from her mom (and as others said this is more likely about that) somehow inconvenienced her older sibling.

Your 20MO needs a more structured schedule that includes predictable times for nursing— I recommend wake/nap/sleep but whatever works. She is old enough to understand predictability and routine if the adults in the picture are firm and consistent. [/quote]
