will I lose my milk supply if I get pregnant?

Question

Was wondering if I'd lose my milk supply if I got pregnant again? My son is 6 months old. I pump exclusively.

Answer

6yrs ago I was pregnant with #2 and nursing #1. I continued to nurse him through my whole pregnancy and actually tandem nursed for a few months after #2 was born. Kellymom has good info on nursing while pregnant. I didn't notice a big change in my supply

Answer

I just found out that I am pregnant again. I was exclusively breast feeding and I was told I had to stop. It broke my heart because  I wasn't ready to wean my son.

Answer

I was pregnant and miscarried while breastfeeding.   I did notice a reduction in supply during the time I was pregnant and had to dig into my freezer stash to make up the difference.  I had a lower supply anyway, so it may have just been my personal experience.

Hope that helps!
