OMG! I am reposting this b/c I need to vent!

Georgia pulls off my boob every 5 seconds to look at something, and it making me crazy!  I put her down, and of course 5 minutes later, she's fussing because she's hungry....so we try it again.....SAME THING! 

I have a 4 yr old so its not like I can hide in a dark room to feed her.  This is seriously making me crazy.  How is this child getting any nourishment?  She's a bit of a slow weight gain-er to begin with.....

I have been "feeding" her for like an hour, and she's fussing again because she's too F-ing nosey to drink.

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Help!

    As a last resort I feed mine the bottle.  I don't know why she does this but when nothing else works I do this.

    Wow, I could have written this post!!  My poor 3 year old I make play in another room quietly (or as quietly as possible for a 3 yr old) b/c if she interrupts my 4mo. old the breastfeeding session is over.  My 4 mo. old will refuse to go back on the boob.  It is soooooo frustrating.  I will then give her a bottle and she'll drink it no problem and fast.  I'm about ready to wean b/c I feel terrible leaving my older one on her own for such long stretches and my youngest seems to like the bottle better.  I guess it's the age; hopefully they get more efficient as they get older and eat faster?!

    When DS hit that stage we had to change our nursing position. I would lie on our bed and let him kneel/stand where he could look out the window while nursing. It worked like a charm! It was a very strange position (imo) but effective nonetheless.
