I think it helps with the pressure It is exhausting, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-month-old-only-wants-to-nurse#post-2203265 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 16:17:41 +0000 matador84 2203265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: @Pirouette: @Maysprout: @catlady: it's driving me crazy! I bet she is getting some teeth though...she only has her bottom two and top 4. Her first molars have been taking over a month to come in, and I'm looking for her incisors any day now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-month-old-only-wants-to-nurse#post-2203166 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 14:38:02 +0000 sarac 2203166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine ramped way up at that age and was nursing a ton. That was when I really started to put limits on it, and she responded well to that. I'll do it far earlier with my second child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-month-old-only-wants-to-nurse#post-2202969 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 11:33:41 +0000 Greentea 2202969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal for that age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-month-old-only-wants-to-nurse#post-2202960 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 11:27:32 +0000 catlady 2202960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine also does this when teething. She's 20 months and only nurses once per day but every so often will go crazy for nursing. She is usually fine at daycare without me though. She only wants to nurse if I'm around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-month-old-only-wants-to-nurse#post-2202798 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:17:32 +0000 Maysprout 2202798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine does that when teething. I did go away for the weekend around that time. She ate fine for DH but he didn't get a ton of sleep at night because her little teeth hurt so she just wanted to be held if she couldn't nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-month-old-only-wants-to-nurse#post-2202778 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:04:02 +0000 Pirouette 2202778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO did this when her teeth were bothering her. is she getting her molars? i agree that she will eat when you're not there, but i totally understand how stressful it is, because LO reverse cycled for a long time as a baby. as a toddler though, i think she gets it a little more - she used to refuse dinner sometimes because she knew i was coming home soon, but she knew she had to eat the rest of the day. so i'm sure your LO will eat while you are gone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-month-old-only-wants-to-nurse#post-2202700 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:16:03 +0000 QBbride 2202700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she teething? Maybe offer her soft food like fruit pouches and see if that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-month-old-only-wants-to-nurse#post-2202694 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:09:57 +0000 SweetiePie 2202694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe feeling ill and it's for comfort?<br /> (Take with a grain of salt, I only nursed for 3-4 weeks :-) But I've heard this can happen, I think?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-month-old-only-wants-to-nurse#post-2202664 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:44:29 +0000 Rockies11 2202664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is currently doing this, and she's 23 months old. I have learned, though, that she is fine to eat if I am not there and nursing isn't available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-month-old-only-wants-to-nurse#post-2202653 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:37:26 +0000 matador84 2202653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since Friday, my 15 month old has barely eaten anything and only wanted to nurse. It's freaking me out because I am going on my first overnight trip without kids from Thurs-Sun. She doesn't take bottles but does drink WCM. </p> <p>Anyone with a baby/toddler go through this? Not sure why the sudden refusal to eat and only nurse. Ugh. </p>
