Trying to wean my milk monster from daytime comfort feeding

D

So my little milk monster turned 1 on the 21st. Yay! I’m ready to take my body back during the day. As of now, she nurses around 5/6 am when she wakes up, around 1030 for a nap, some days around 3pm for her second nap, and then before bed around 730p. She also likes to randomly pull on my shirt and burry her head in my chest throughout the day because she wants to nurse for a few minutes. I’m convinced it’s just to suck on my nipple because she barely does anything, just latches on like a little leech. When I try to distract her or tell her no, she throws a tantrum. Her pediatrician told me it’s ok to take away one feeding at a time, with the night time on being the last to go. I don’t mind that one. It’s the random ones mid day that I want to stop. She throws a tantrum and hits me when I don’t let her and when my husband tries to distract her, she acts like he’s giving her an exorcism. Not to mention, when I’m around she wants nothing to do with her daddy. She even screams when he tries to hold her and yells mama. He can’t get her in the middle of the night either because she screams bloody murder and hits him. But when he hands her to me, instant silence and she nuzzles my shoulder and is happy. Ugh! This mamma needs a break. Is anyone else going through this?!? How do I wean her comfort sucking my nipples? My son gave up my breasts at 8 months and I pumped until 11 months with him. I also worked full time with him. I’m at home 24/7 with her.
