Breastfeeding

I need your help. She is 14 months. She wants to suck all the time. I breastfeed 7-8 times a day. When you don't give, the breast gets very angry and cries. She wants to suck before and after meals. I don't want to give up the breast, but it's pushing me hard. I don't want to breastfeed anymore. But I'm afraid they don't get more angry

Literally traded the boob for food and water haha

This ^^^ Offer lots of praise when they drink water. Sometimes when mine is really begging for milk, I ask if he wants to go outside. That excitement triumphs all milk desires unless he really NEEDS it (aka hydration). Then I can usually get away with handing him a straw sippy cup with water outside.

I've been offering favorite snacks and water if he's cuing at wanting the breast. Sometimes it doesn't work but it has decreased the amount in half.
