DYK oh my goodness my heart goes out to you! DYK it is so hard when they don't understand why they can't have what they want DYK I hope it does not last and he starts to move on from the boob!
Dyk Meg, that's awesome that you made it to 2.5 nursing your son! Good for you!
dyk but as much as I respect my husband, he doesn't get much of a say in how long I nurse Isabelle. I think that's a very special relationship between mother and child, and no one else should interfere or get a say in the matter.
Dyk that being said, if YOU are ready to wean, cold turkey is a hard way to do it. You could start by just night weaning. Dr Jay Gordon has a popular method. During the day you can also limit frequency and length and nursing sessions. By easing him into weaning it will be less traumatic.
Dyk I'll get off my soap box now, lol. This is just such an important issue to me.
Dyk baby center has a great extended nursing board if you want some other helpful info.
Dyk thanks for the support, I took a long hot shower, had some food and spent time in the garden and felt a bit better Dyk I should have expected it , I have actually been nursing for 4.5 years ( my daughter self weaned just before my son was born ) Dyk he was down to nursing mainly in the middle of the night ( comfort or when he wouldn't eat dinner ) and the odd day when grumpy after a sleep . I was getting sore too and a bit irritated which I think where signs the milk wasn't there much anymore but I had always hoped he would self wean when he was ready Dyk thanks for the link I will check it out .

dyk, I think I'll give them a call to see how true that is
dyk, between boxing & kettlebells I have a fairly good core base building up, but I winder if it's enough.
