  • What Should I Expect While Tandem Nursing?

    QUESTION

    Dear Lactation Consultant,
    I just found out I am pregnant with my second child. I have a 10-month-old son who is happily breastfeeding and I don't want to have to stop. What kind of issues should I be concerned about for breastfeeding while pregnant and then breastfeeding a toddler and a newborn?

    QUESTION

    Dear Lactation Consultant,
    I'm a month pregnant and am also nursing a 7-month-old. She's interested in starting solids, but still enjoys nursing. Do you have any special advice?

    Shall I aim on weaning her over the next month or two?

    Thank you in advance for answering my question.

    Are you ready to try to conceive your second child, but still enjoying a breastfeeding relationship with your firstborn? Or perhaps you are breastfeeding your child over a kicking baby belly? If so you are not alone -- far from it.

  • Nursing During Pregnancy and Tandem Nursing

    by Anne Smith, IBCLC

    The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends exclusively breastfeeding your baby for the first six months of life, with no solids or supplements, and continuing to nurse throughout the first year of life and beyond. During the period of exclusive breastfeeding, it is very unlikely that you will become pregnant. However, as more and more mothers recognize the advantages of long-term nursing and natural weaning, more of them will become pregnant while they are nursing their baby.
