New nursing limits!
Starting today I am committed to only nursing Olivia in bed before we get up each morning, at her nap time and before bed. Its 10:44 am and normally by now she would have nursed atleast 4 times. I've just explained to her that from now on we are only going to be nursing in bed. I've offered alternatives, such as having a snack or a cup of milk, going for a walk, reading and story etc. So far she's been accepting! We will no longer be nursing on the couch, in public, or anywhere except in our bed. Starting tomorrow night we are going to have nursies go 'nite-nite' and we will nurse when we wake up. I've decided not to start tonight because I am going out *alone* with a few girlfriends to scrap book and wont be home till midnight and I know she will need to nurse when I get home(after being gone from 3pm-12am) positive thoughts are welcome! Thanks everyone!

Yay! Great news! I'm glad you found a solution that you can work with, and that she's not beside herself yet.
Have fun tonight! Hopefully the rest of the day goes smoothly... and tomorrow night seems like it will be the big test. Good luck!
