Breastfeeding

breastfeeding/pregnancy

I am 5weeks with baby #2 and currently still breastfeeing my dd who is almost 16months old. Anyone have any advice? I was really hoping to pursue breastfeeding until at least 2years old but I've heard pregnancy can change your breastmilk? My daughter will be two December 27th, and baby #2 is due December 19th!

  • Thank you for that! I do want to tandem nurse!

  • What Theresa said. Also, some babies are happy to dry nurse even if you do dry up. I'm 21 wks and 13mo old DS is still nursing.
  • My daughter has happily nursed through this pregnancy, including the last few months where I've only made colostrum. Of course in my case I was hoping she WOULD wean!

  • Thank you! Very helpful:)
  • I nursed DD#1 until she was 17 months and I was 16ish weeks pg. She self weaned. I know my supply dropped once I got pg. Just keep nursing as long as you both want.

  • I got pregnant when DS1 was 18 months. My milk dried up at 10 weeks pregnant but he continued dry nursing through the pregnancy, though we were down to once a day for a couple minutes by the end, due to aversion on my part, and nursing triggering excessive Braxton Hicks. I'm now tandem nursing but limiting DS1 to once a day. He's now 28 months.
