I know it sounds silly but so nervous. Fed my first three until between 18 -24 months and never had an issue with supply. Before I fell pregnant I was still lactating even though I hadn't breast fed for over a year but now I am pregnant I have completely dried up and concerned I won't produce anymore. Anyone else gone through a simular situation or know if this sounds normal? Would be devastating if couldn't breastfeed this one
 
I had similar worries before this LO arrived, my previous toddler was still nursing and getting very little if any out and I was worried that my milk wouldnt recognise the need of the new baby and not start producing and colostrum or milk. When LO arrived he had no interest in nursing for the first 24hrs which added to my worry! but then he showed interest and strangely enough I do believe I have a more than usual amount for him!

Your body will recognise the arrival of your baby and will do exactly what it needs to do, best of luck with LO!!
