BF while pregnant

shupje1

DS is almost 10  months old and just found out we are expecting baby #2   Just wondering if any of you have made it to the full year with EBF while pregnant at any point. I can tell my supply has dipped a little already and just hoping we can make it to a year then planning on moving to WCM. Any advice is appreciated

I am in the same exact boat!  DS will be 10 months on the 21st and we are expecting LO #2 somewhere in the end of November/early December.  I started to pump more frequently once I found out and have increased my calorie intake (500 for BFing + 250 for being PG) and have been able to keep up my supply over the past few weeks and have even been able to keep adding to my freezer stash.  I am hoping to make it to 1 year as well.  When I noticed the supply drop, I started eating oatmeal, adding in a few more pumps during the day when I am not with LO and pump at night after he goes to bed.  I posted the same question a few weeks ago and have received some great responses from some women who have been really supportive.  Best of luck!  I'll be thinking of you!  Let's hope we can both make this work 'til 1 year!

I did see a dip in my supply but managed to keep breastfeeding.  After 12 months I started using other milk so he wasn't so dependent on my breastmilk and I considered the nursing more for comfort.
