clingy toddler

Angela • Mom to 3

My little guy is 17 months .. always been super independent .. would never cuddle and would rarely nurse for comfort anymore unless he got hurt or scared. past few days I've been going crazy because he constantly needs to be in my arms and nurses every 2 hours 😫 I enjoy the cuddles but I have so much to do b4 Xmas in 2 days and no time to do it.. I'm 7 almost 8 weeks pregnant. I wonder if my milk has changed or something. maybe become sweeter? I know I don't have as much patience with him as before I was pregnant because I'm so exhausted. maybe his clingyness is a reflection of my attitude. anyone else experience this? was it related to pregnancy and did the clingyness stop eventually? I'm going to try to introduce a lovey after Xmas and see if that helps because I'm exhausted
