She uses no dummy and doesn't suck her thumb so she is using my nipples as a comforter. She screams if i refuse to give it to her. She has 12 teeth so i'm sure you can imagine the pain of having bitten nipples lol. She eats and drinks perfectly well so i'm sure she could manage without having my breast milk as well.Thank you

Its not easy!I fed my youngest till she was 2.5y then I just told her they (boob) were broken ,she cried but I stuck to it and she gave up ,one of my others just weened him self .the funny thing about the broken boobs is that a while after ,she walked in on me in the shower and said ,mummy they are not broken,I think she had an idea that they were physically broken like a plate LOL any way she would just rub them as she went to sleep for a while,she is 3 now any happy ,it is hard to say no but you just have to if it is right time for you.

express your breast into a clean/sterile container, pour the contents into a feeding bottle, she will still have the taste of breast milk, and gradually add formula or regular milk into the feeding bottle. This way you are not taking both breast milk and nipple from her, this is a slow process and you have to be patient or keep the bottle near your breast when feeding her good luck!

Ask the doctor if its ok to ween her off the milk, maybee use a bottle instead if its injuring you. As for trying to get her own way, you will have to teach her she cant, otherwise you've got a very long 18 years ahead of you.

Let her scream? I never had a problem with it. I said no, and the fit started, then the fit ended. My youngest is 18 months old now, and he is still a bit mad about it, but he's getting over it.

Get a nipple for the milk bottle - eventually your baby will just start drinking milk if she gets hungry anyway.

Try reducing the time she is allowed the feed, ie. initially make it a special cuddly with mummy ONLY before bedtime.
then try getting your partner to put her to bed and hence the opportunity to feed wont be there.
Eventually it will slip her mind and it wont be an option any more

ur baby girl just like her mother and she dosen't want to leav her thats all (just jokin) find something she like best, like deby has said take her to baby shop let her pick what she likes best, try and find out her favorite snack. but u also have to ignore her once in a while if she continues to cry for it.
i hope this will work.
