I believe that is one character you will have to shape up in your child, But it is also because he get use to having your comfort when you brest feed thats why, help him gradually grow over it, God Bless.

LOL, that brings back memories. I nursed my twins until they were 2 1/2. It was a chore. I started out by cutting back on the times they were nursed. Only at nap and bedtime. Then we went to only bedtime. And eventually stopped. But this too was not without tears. I would offer them a drink from their sippy cups before nap or bedtime. I would also cuddle them to help ease them to rest. Good luck to you.
