Not enjoying toddler nursing

I bet it will take at least a few days, maybe a week or more, to have him stop asking so much.

Thanks so much! We are going on vacation to Hawaii on Sunday. My in-laws are meeting us there. We have lots of activities planned, so this will probably be a good time to cut back on his nursing times. He goes to sleep in the nursery at church with someone rocking him and often falls asleep in the car, so he does and can go to sleep without nursing. Just not if we are home and I try and put him in his crib!
