tandem nursing?

Question

Has anyone planned to or successfully tandem nursed? How'd it work out

Answer

My milk dried up right away but my daughter didn't seem to care. I have colostrum now and she's nursing less so I'm not sure if she doesn't like it or what. But she talks a lot about sharing milkies with the baby. I'm nursing as long as my children desire so if that includes tandem feeding I'll do it. llli.org has books and information about it.

Answer

I had planned on doing so but 5-6 months into my new pregnancy, my milk dried up. After baby was born, i pumped and tried giving my older child my pumped milk but she rejected it

Answer

If you want some info about it Kellymom has a good post about it. If you just do a search it's called Tandem Nurskng on the site. A lot of moms start out planing to tandem but are unable to for a couple of reasons. The first their milk dries up and because it's hormonal there isn't much that can be done because of it. Some choose to dry nurse and both mom and baby are content with that until mom delivers new baby and her milk comes in than it's business as usual.
Second their nipples get so sensitive they have to wean baby.
