    I haven't done it yet, but I'd say "nursing like a newborn" is something you hear a lot with toddlers cutting molars. If you're up for an in-person group, La Leche toddler meetings can be great.

    I have a friend who is tandem nursing her 18 months old. Her son has been nursing like crazy for about a month now, but is starting to slow down. She is in her last few weeks of pregnancy. I've heard it has something to with your toddler trying to feel
