you can not make a child nurse who doesn't want to. you cna offer, and if they don't want to nurse, they'll say no, and grab the nearest truck (robot or whatever, lol) and start driving it over you, playing airplanes, or whatever.

my dd just turned 4 and usually nurses first thign in the morning (except she didn't ask today, hmm) and at bedtime. the only other times she asks to nurse is if she has fallen and gotten a boo-boo etc.
