My 7 month old has lately become a VERY distractable nurser. If her brother is talking/playing in the same room where I am trying to nurse her she either won't latch or she'll latch and immediately pop off to turn and look at him. In the past couple of days the only luck I have with having a successful nursing session is when we're in her room, in her glider, with the lights down and completely alone.

The problem is that usually we can't be completely alone. DS always wants to be with us and even if he's being quiet (which he usually is not lol) it distracts her. I was so engorged and in pain yesterday because she would not settle down to nurse.

This morning I let DS watch a show while I nursed her before her nap and she did really well. In the afternoon we were at my mom's so she had DS outside and DD nursed really well. Last night before bed while DH had DS in the other room she nursed really well.

Soooo does anyone have any tips on either how to help her focus with distractions or how to keep my toddler occupied so that he's not distracting her??
