Nursing and pregnant

My DH and I want to TTC #2 but i'm not ready to stop nursing my DD #1 for quite some time.

Are any of you nursing and preggy or nursing 2? How is it going? What does your diet look like to keep up with the demand?

thanks or sharing!

Re: Nursing and pregnant

  • I thought I heard that if you are nursing, it acts as a natural birth control.  That's just what I have heard-I don't know if it is true or not.
  • I nursed my oldest DS right up until I delivered my youngest.  He self weaned about a month before.

    Your nipples will become more sore, and your LO might self wean when your milk turns to colostrum because they might not like the taste.

     As far a nutrition I just ate as I normally would during my pregnancy.  I didn't go out of my way to eat any additional calories because I was nursing. 

    It is perfectly safe to nurse during pregnancy.
