I am still breastfeeding my one year old (just turned one at the end of March ) and have realized I'm pregnant. (This is a good thing :)) But I have a few questions....
One....should I take more vitamins? Both my naturapath and my midwife say no. The midwife just says increase calories and protein. I should probably take her word on that...I'm just paranoid by nature.
Two....should I expect changes in milk flow...will this lead to self weaning? I'm not wanting to breastfeed throughout the pregnancy. I will want at least 4 month or more of a break before having the next child...but...I'm worried about protein/milk source for ds....I do NOT want to do cow's milk with him (it makes his excema worse...haven't even been able to do butter with him even in small quantities). I know raw goat milk is great but have not been successful in finding a source. So I'm not sure what to use in replacement when we get to that point or how to get to that point. Will it happen on it's own in the next couple of months or should I start doing something to encourage weaning (though part of me hates to do that....) So mixed in emotions right now.
Thoughts anyone?
