Hey all,

So i've been BFing LO since he was born and luckily all has been good...however, now that i'm 7.5mo pregnany the river has run dry but LO STILL wants the boob (to sleep or when he's hurt/cranky) and it's so hard to distract him that I just give in and there is obviously no eating going on ...and it hurts...soooooo any advice to wean him off? I thought by having me run out of milk would have done the trick...but no...he's still going strong.

Maybe put a little cayenne pepper on your nipples when he is trying to nurse again. I know, that sounds reeeeally mean and terrible. But I think one time with that and he might just stop. But really you need to lay down the law and say, "No, mommy does not have any more milk (or whatever you call it). Mommy's body is trying to grow your little brother/sister right now. Let's look at pictures of baby (grab ultrasound photos if you have them, or provide some other distraction)." If he keeps trying then that's when I would bring the spicy stuff into action.

You think putting a bandaid over it would help? I'd feel horrible about the pepper
