DD acting like she wants to nurse again after weaning

We're still at once a day, after dinner/before bed. But today and a little bit of yesterday, she's been acting like she wants to nurse other times during the day. She'll bury her face in my chest, pull at my shirt, and/or kind of bite at it. I'm not about to increase our nursing times but I'm not sure what to offer her instead. WCM? A snack? Just extra hugs? Has anyone else run into this? How'd you handle it?

    i just let her. I don't pump during the day anymore, so I know there isn't much supply there during the day. If she wants to latch and nurse for a minute out of comfort on a random saturday afternoon, i just let her do it. she figures out pretty quickly that there isn't enough milk and moves on or asks for something to eat.

    Not sure, but it might have to do with being pregnant. My son who hasnt nursed since February has been obsessed with my boobs lately...Only thing I can figure is he can smell the smell and is actually interested again...

    Hm, that makes me a little nervous. I don't want to tandem nurse!

    We are working on weaning to morning, after school and before bed. I've found that a fun snack is the best distraction for LO (and me!).

    If you dont want to tandem nurse than I would offer milk, water, or a snack. I think the longer you wait to wean the more difficult it will be to *deny* her nursing once LO arrives. I am hoping my son gives up his interest....
