You will lose some of your supply, but you can keep nursing. No reason not

to. I got pregnant when brady was 9 months. He nursed until 2 1/2 . I did

decrease, but depending on the age of the first child, they may still ant to

nurse. Often, an older child will not like the taste once the colostrum

starts to come in and ill stop on their own.

I don't know from personal experience, but I had a friend who was PG and

nursed the entire time...her milk didn't dry up...but it did change back

towards colustrum before she gave birth...her daughter weaned herself around

that time.

My supply dropped very, very low around 20 weeks. Since nursing was causing a

lot

of pain and Spencer didn't seem to care one way or another about it (only nursed

1 or 2X a day and only when I offered), I stopped offering. He weaned quickly.

I know several people who nursed throughout pregnancy, but they had more

enthusiastic nursers. I don't think it will actually " dry up " unless you

completely stop nursing.

Depends on the person. My milk certainly decreased and my daughter weaned

herself around the 12-15 wk spot in my pregnancy. In a way I was glad she

weaned as nursing her and having a difficult pregnancy was hard. I have

heard of great successes with nursing the entire pregnancy with no problems.

My son called the colostrum yucky milk, but that didn't deter him

into weaning AT ALL! lol ;-) He still drank it, and did so all thru

my preg despite having little to no milk at times

Sara,

I'm on a couple of breastfeeding lists, and those that choose to tandem nurse do so easily. Your milk will only dry up if you wean your current bfing baby.

sorry it is a reply to a week ago - I am still getting caught up on

messages! Anyway - my son is 18 1/2 mos old and I got pregnant with #2

when he was 13 mos old. Around 15-16 mos old my milk dried up, there is

literally nothing there. However, still nurses for comfort and

to go to sleep. I hope to tandem nurse when the milk comes back in for

his immune protection -that is if he wants to! So, it does happen!
