Milk Supply

For those who EBF, did your milk supply tank when you got pregnant with #2? We would like to start TTC next month, but I would also like to nurse DS unitl 1 year. I'm worried that my supply might not be able to keep up after I get pregnant.

    I nursed DS until he was 13 months and I was 15/16 weeks pregnant. I didn't have a problem with supply. I just tried to make sure that I did everything to keep my supply up (drink plenty of water, eat oatmeal, etc.).

    I'm 19.5 weeks pregnant and DD is barely 9-months-old. My milk supply is great. Anytime supply issues I've had have been tied to not drinking enough. When I increase my water supply, I'm fine. According to Adventures in Tandem Nursing, up to 30% of mom
