Tandem Nursing While Pregnant

[pinkga2008]

Hi! I'm new to this forum, but am looking for support and information on nursing 2 while pregnant. I'm currently nursing my 29 month old daughter & my 13 month old daughter and am about 7 weeks pregnant with my 3rd (go to the Dr. tomorrow to make sure everything is ok and see the little bean). My 29 month old doesn't nurse that often. She nurses for about 5 minutes each morning and then "sips" during the day--seriously for like less than 30 seconds! My 13 month old is nursing pretty frequently during the day, but also for short periods of time, but she wants to nurse all night long (we cosleep).

I was able to find info about nursing 1 while pregnant & tandem nursing, but can't seem to find anyone who has nursed 2 while pregnant.

Thanks in Advance!

I know a woman who has repeatedly nursed 2 or more babies. Lots of rest, plenty of water and healthy food and you'll be fine.

I did it. Mine were much older than yours, although their nursing patterns sound a lot alike. I personally know one other mom who did as well. Its doable - do try to pay a lot of extra attention to your diet though. Nursing 2 while pregnant can really drain your body if you don't pay attention. Protein is huge, but so is getting enough of all the other vitamins and minerals. Pay lots of attention to your diet, especially to getting enough greens. Having that much coming out of your body can really be hard on your health if you don't pay attention. If you do pay attention, it can all go great

If you have specific concerns/questions/etc. let me know. If your just wondering can it be done - yep it can
