  nope:)  Is he really fighting you not wanting to nurse?  Or does he still happily latch on at least for a short time?  If so I would keep it.  I'm going to cry when/if DS doesn't want to nurse before bed anymore!

  We've been fighting for a month.  He will nurse for a day or 2 and then absolutely refuse for 4 or 5 days.  He's gotten to a point where he won't even latch.  It's upsetting, but it's just how it is.  I am really happy we got this far though.  I can't fight anymore.  He is so much happier on bottles.

  edit: I totally missed what you were saying.  Yes, he will eat for about 4 minutes at night (which is about 2 minutes shorter than his normal nursing sessions were).

  Hopefully it won't happen to you!   It sucks, but I'm getting to a point where I've realized being a mom is about doing what is best for your baby.  It did hurt when he refused to nurse this morning though.  He's been waking around 2am to nurse and I've been eating it up. haha

  I also went through a period the other day where I Was pumping b/c I thought LO would fight less with bottles, but it turns out he doesn't, and still likes to nurse.  I was so happy when I got him back on the breast after that full day of pumping... I totally see how you ladies feel.  I never ever thought I'd get to the point where I was doing this for me!
