The only thing that I would add is while you are holding him read books. The focus then is on the book, not on your breast, he still get the cuddle time that he needs

It sounds like your son is using breast feeding to soothe and if he's 34months and can't sleep without it then its time to look up weaning on google and learn about your options. Breastfeeding at his age isn't horrible (although its older than most) but he needs to be able to get to sleep on his own by now.
And what does multivitamins have to do with eat? Is he eating normal food as well as breast feeding?

I would say its not going to be easy but you are just going to have to stop and deal with some crying and an unhappy child. But I think being that old it will only be hard for a little while. Read him a book, give him a sippy cup with water or something and let him lay next to you and try and show him that it will be okay without nursing.

You might consider starting a new bedtime routine with Daddy instead of Mommy. I would try you both reading him a story, cuddle a lot and hand him off for Daddy rocking and cuddling. Yea for breastfeeding!!

He's used to it...that's why he wants it...if you want to stop, you'll have to just do it...cuddle him to sleep at first if he needs, but put a pillow between you (your breast) and him so he's that much more removed...

it has been done before....
put like dark coffee around ur breast..
or something that has a bad taste for the baby..everytime you do so ur baby will get disgusted and not want to be breastfed anymore.
so keep doing that, till the baby stops..and trust me it won't take long!
goodluck[=

your best bet is cold turkey. put him to bed instead of holding him let him cry he will be fine, this is why doctors say wean at 1 year old theres no attachment issues
