Breastfeeding when pregnant causing wind in toddler?

[Guest guest]

My sister who has Grace (17 months) thinks she may be pregnant again

(has to wait until Saturday to find out). This does not appear to

have put Grace off the boob but she has been waking up at 4am each

morning with terrible wind. Is there a connection? She is only fed

morning and evening now so I think it is probably something else but

my sister asked if I could ask so I have. BTW Grace has suffered from

constipation most of her life and is on Lactulose at the moment.

TIA again! (I should get her to join this list!!)

I've done this four times, and never noticed any change in the toddler. I

guess that it is possible for a lower milk supply to mean the child has to

work harder at the breast - and perhaps takes in more air as a result. But

I have never experienced low milk supply until nearer the end of the third

trimester. I'd be amazed if there was any change to the milk at the 3 - 4

week mark.
