Breastfeeding though pregnancy

[JessPape]

Any that has, or has breastfeed for any time during pregnancy? -- thoughts, tips, advice, anything that made it difficult for you?

I did it, and honestly it was a breeze .

No aversion or problems. The only thing was some stronger Braxton hicks than jn my first pregnancy .

This is my second time breastfeeding through preg. Not sure on tips as only got sore sensitive nipples. Which I dont think a lot can be done about that with hormones.

Have you seen the sticky? There's lots of people's experiences of nursing through pregnancy there. I'd recommend reading Adventures in Tandem Nursing. Even if you don't intend to tandem, there's lots of information about nursing in pregnancy.

Everyone's experience is different. Personally, I really struggled, but I'm so glad we made it through. My biggest tip is to keep well hydrated. It's amazing the difference it can make.

Congratulations and good luck!

My son was still really young when I found out I was pregnant (5months) I noticed a supply drop right away and by 9 months old my lo stopped nursing. It ended up working out really well for us though. He already had 8 teeth and was quite the biter so I can't say I was too sad about it especially since I. Kinda wanted a couple months off before my new lo. I had pumped like over 1000 pounces though so he got bm for a long time still. My only advice is, it's a slippery slope. Once my son realized my milk was dwindling and I started offering him a supplement at night he started only wanting the bottle. I dont regret it though because he needed it. His diapers went down to 3 wet a day. So unless you notice something like that I wouldn't worry. Keep on like you are as long as you can
