Anyone else plan on tandem nursing a current baby and their August newborn?

Question

My little one just turned one last week. She’s still nursing and not showing any signs of weaning. I dontplan to force wean her unless it’s medically necessary for this pregnancy. Anyone else plan on tandem feeding? Or have you before? Any tips would be great!

Answer

I have a 14 month who still breastfeeds every few hours and I don’t plan on weaning unless necessary. Not sure she’ll want to tandem nurse and kinda hoping she won’t but I know a lot of women who do it and love it!

Answer

I’m planning on it. My son is still nursing, and I’m hoping he’ll be ok sharing lol

Answer

My almost 2 year old still nurses on and off. And I'm due in Aug. He will throw a fit if I tell him no.

Answer

I have tandem fed with my older two and now my younger two, and plan on tandem feeding my 2yr old with the newborn (unless he self weans by then - not holding out much hope though as my elder two only FINALLY self weaned at 3.5yrs each. Way too long for me personally but as my current 3 are so close in age I didn't want them to feel pushed out so let them self wean. I avoid actually feeding 2 at the same time as much as I possibly can though as it (personally to me) makes my toes curl as it is just too intense. 
I tried weaning each of them multiple times but they just don't ever want to give up mummy milk. The world health organisation recommends 2 years or beyond but as long as you feed as long as suits you and your nursling then that is what is best.
