nursing twins and a toddler

morrkim

I was wondering if anyone is planning or is nursing twins and a toddler.  I have a 20 month old daughter who I have been trying to wean since finding out I was pregnant, but she has been fighting.  I am wondering how difficult it will be to continue bf her when the twins come along.  I don't see her weaning when the twins come if she isn't already.  I can even see her wanting more.

I was worried about this same thing when I was pregnant; my son was 19 months when his brothers were born. He ended up self-weaning in the beginning of the second trimester, I think because he started walking and also because my supply dropped around then. 

If you are going to wean, I'd think it would have to be pretty soon, or else she's going to remember. I do know one or two people who've nursed twins and a toddler; they told me it's possible but you will feel very touched out some days!
