Feeling edgy!?!

[HarvestMom]

So this is my 3rd child and right on queue before the 3rd birthday I find that my nerves get edgy... I love breastfeeding and am not of any opinion either way about extended bfing... but I do find it funny that this has happened all three times. I think my body is telling me something. Of course I know that my little boy is still in need of the closeness. So I do not want to rush anything or make it more emotional than it needs to be.... anyone have any experiences like this they would like to share?

LOVE

Is it nursing in general or just night nursing that gets you edgy?

Not sure if I'm edgy or sleep deprived, but there's a 3 y.o. in my bed, too, not nursing, but needing lots of love and cuddles through the night as if he were. I don't plan to kick him out ;) but edgy might be another way of saying you're not getting enough real rest?

:hugs I currently co-sleep with three little boys, only my infant nursing, and I think that I would seriously have a breakdown if I were nursing the older two through the night (or even just one of them)

You do sound like you're incredibly tired, and I think it's easy to get cranky and a little resentful of nursing all of the time. It's a touch thing for me. I just get so touched out.

I have no answers for you, hopefully someone else does. I just wanted to give you hugs and let you know you're not alone :heart
