    I have done more than I thought with nursing and am VERY proud of my accomplishment and very happy with how healthy my babies are. However, I am done. I am ready to be able to sit on the floor and not have 2 babies pulling up my shirt. I have them down to before nap and before bed for the most part. Sometimes I give in to the request because I am not up for a "fight" I even went away 2 different times for 2 nights and thought that would do it... Nope... I walked in the door to give hugs and all they wanted was boob! Any suggestions to get 2 very strong willed, boob addicted :) babies to wean? I really am done and ready to have my body back!

    My boys self weaned, but with my last little one, I had to begin to be firm. He's 2 and was crawling up and down my shirt asking for "boob" What I would do is just offer a cuddle if he wasn't hungry or thirsty, if he insisted, I'd say "all gone, would you like a cup?" and if he was really persistent, I firmly told him "no". Distracting him with play or a silly dance would work too. I just made a point to whenever he asked to say "all gone" It took about 2 wks and then he was done. Good luck
