I breastfed DS1 throughout my pregnancy with DS2, and I tandem fed for about 4 months afterwards. I'm still breastfeeding DS2 but we're down to two feeds a day, I'm hoping he'll self wean when I get pregnant, but if not I will encourage him to wean because I don't want to tandem feed again.

I nursed DS#2 with milk until I think the halfway mark? My milk then dried up. After that it was just comfort nursing as much as I could stand. But I am producing colostrum now in my last trimester.

I am but have cut back. The pain was too much and my let downs sting now that I'm pregant. I haven't completely stopped nursing him but cut down from maybe 12 times per 24 hours to about 6 per 24 hours and my milk supply is pretty low now. I can go for like 10 hours without feeding and not get overly full or sore. DS3 is now 17.5 months old and he is embracing the bottles more. He now quite enjoys them, which is a relief.

I was nursing DS1 when i was pregnant with DS2. DS1 was 12 months when i was pregnant again. I cut it back from 5 times a day (and sometimes night) two 3 times a day and no nightnursing. Just because i was soooooo tired. It did not feel comfortable to nurse, sometimes it was painful. By the time i was 16 weeks pregnant i was dried up and because son never asked for his milk i stopped nursing. Wanted to tandem, but by the time ds2 was here, ds1 didn't know what to do with them... I pumped for him as i was 'blessed' with an oversupply starting at day 2.

I am a nursing their prego where it is a I'm glad my body didn't even start to ovulate until a couple months ago because I really believe in nursing but it would be super difficult w/ a younger child.

yeah I didn't get 1st af until about 21m. so def. natural spacing here. we would've liked them a lil closer but hey your af comes when it comes lol. i believe in nursing till at least 2 so yeah that would be a problem for me if I had a younger babe and my milk dried up. at least at this age I don't really worry about it but it's still there. he is nursing less, and even going to sleep on his own w/o it, still nurses plently though and still doesn't feel good but us mamas do what we have to do

I breastfed DD1 for most of DD2's pregnancy but didn't tandem feed. DD3 is still going strong but I'm hoping to wean once I get that second trimester supply drop.

I nursed DS3 until I was 13 weeks pregnant with DD and then he quit. I hope DD keeps nursing, I'd be up for tandem.
Thank you God and Our Lady
