Breastfeeding while pregnant??

Question

Hi All! Is anyone else still breastfeeding while pregnant again? My LO is just over 1 and I'm 16 weeks pregnant! I'm still breastfeeding him but only upon request once or twice a day. No longer pumping either. He's been on whole milk for a month and doing well. Doctors have suggested I wean from day one of pregnancy but I'm feeling fine doing it and no cramping so I haven't fully stopped, just cut back. Anyone else in same boat and have you stopped or kept going? Just curious how close you continued to birth? Thanks!!!

Ps, had to add our announcement we took this week!! Another boy 💙💙

Answer

15+5 and breastfeeding my 11 month old. Midwife said it's absolutely fine as I'm not at risk for early labor and that my body is more than capable of producing enough milk for both my daughter and my newborn once he is here. She said if I had a high risk pregnancy or they were concerned about early labor they would have suggested I stopped immediately. She said the only thing that may change is that my daughter my not like the new flavor of the milk because it's going to change but that if she makes it to the colostrum stage she will probably love the because it will be like a milk shake for her haha. I was already planning to wean her around a year and would like to try to stick with that but it seems impossible at this point so I guess we will see how things work out

Answer

Oh and I was completely ok with this whole situation until I took a picture of my last two "bricks" of milk. I think I've cried about 5 times today about it. 😂

Answer

Since I have to clock out at work to pump I immediately stopped pumping when I found out. Although I was nursing I quickly dried up. 😢😔😕. She's 13 months today and I'm on my last week of frozen breast milk, I really wanted to go to two years.

Answer

Still breastfeeding regularly! Have an 8 month old who is ebf and I am currently 17 weeks two days!

Answer

I have a 9 month old still breast feeding 3-4xs a day and going to start pumping again because he has been drinking a lot more milk that I had stocked up before I went back to work.  I plan on keeping up breast feeding him and the new baby.  My doctors are fine with it.  Keep it up as long as u can Momma!  👍🏻👍🏻
