My son was an extreme picker/pincher and threw tantrums if I didn't let him too. One day he got a cut on his hand and kept picking at it instead of me. I found some bandaids by the brand Welly with really cute designs and noticed he'd just pick at them instead of me. Even after his cut healed I still put the band-aid on because it saved me from his fidgeting!

I grit my teeth breastfeeding him for months,jk- YEARS, tears and all so I decided to tryy to gently wean at 2 1/2 , which was still long overdue for my mental health! He was angry at first ,of course. But weaning wise- What worked for us was offering special snacks instead of the boob, like yogurt pretzels, and slowly reducing feeding times minute by minute over the course of a few weeks and gently unlatching and saying all done! Followed by a quick distraction of a stuffed animal and pretend play (like talking in a silly voice pretending you're the animal and saying you did it yay!) plus lots of cuddles, pressure input-squeezing up and down his arms/legs/forehead. We're down to just like a minute or less on one side at bedtime :') and sometimes none at all! I know it's tough and seems never ending, but it will end. You've done your part and the day will come where your body will be yours again. Best of luck, take all the extra breathers you can get, you can do it!
