Help!!

My LO is ten months old and still nursing like a champ. I recently started watching a two and a half year old in the evenings.We will call this child A. Here's what I'm needing help with... every time I nurse LO, A is right by my side asking if she can have some too. Of course I have to say no every time because 1she's not my child and 2 her mother would not be okay with that. When I tell her no she cries and cries and cries. What can I do to help her not feel so left out? I've tried letting her cuddle with us while LO nurses and giving her a special treat while LO is eating. Nothing I've tried has helped. I feel bad that she is feeling so left out. I would be more than happy to let her nurse if her mother was okay with it but as I said before, she's not. I should also add that when she cries its not like a tantrum when she doesn't get her way, those are completely different. This cry is like I've hurt her feelings. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions!!!

    What if you have her a doll and let her "nurse" her doll while you BF. she could sit by you and cuddle the doll to her chest?

    Can you give her a special treat, something she really likes to eat, only when you're BFing? Or is there a special toy she really likes, that you only bring out  at that time?

    Keep a sippy cup of milk handy and get it out when you nurse (don't let her see). When she asks say sure but that she has to drink it out of a cup.
