Who BF #1 while pregnant with #2?

Did DC1 nurse for long or self wean pretty quickly?  How was your supply?

Re: Who BF #1 while pregnant with #2?

  • I bf ds1 till he was 8.5 months and I was 5.5 months pregnant. I started supplementing at 6 months to have a break because my nipples hurt so bad. My supply was fine but I think I'm like a super dairy cow with milk production. I also didn't gain weight in the pregnancy for a long time. I started having contractions more toward the end and decided it was best to stop.

  • My supply was fine until a couple weeks into 2nd tri. I think the taste and quantity started changing. He was 13-14 months; I was 14 weeks when I noticed his pattern shifting a bit. He started weaning himself and was done at 15 months; I was 19 weeks pg.

  • DS #1 is 22 months and I'm about 32 weeks and still nursing 4x a day, mostly around sleep. I don't think there is any milk in there, but its just for comfort.
  • DD was 6 months when I got my BFP. My supply stayed up until I was about 28 weeks, when it dropped drastically. At 35 weeks, it's barely there (she might get one or two swallows per session, if she's lucky) but she still nurses 2-3x a day on average. I think I could easily wean her if I wanted to, but she still enjoys it and I know she'll want to nurse more often once the new baby is here so we'll continue.

  • My supply practically stopped in my first tri. DD#! was 6 mos old when I got pregnant, I managed to make enough milk to continue until I was about 10 weeks pregnant, she was 8 mos old when I totally ran out of milk. She didn't like comfort nursing, it just made her mad because there was no milk in there!
