I posted before about my nursing issues during this pregnancy and my 15 mnth old. Was on progesterone and as I came off my milk started drying up. That's when she started biting a lot and then nursing decreased some more, now it's down to one good feed a day. She won't even try during the day now. I want to try picking it up more and am worried that it will affect the pregnancy negatively. Does anyone know if this is safe?

Well, since I had a known issue with progesterone and to keep the baby safe I was taking supplements. I know breastfeeding throughout pregnancy is safe, but am wondering if a large fluctuation in nursing can cause a change in progesterone, going from normal feeding schedule to hardly at all back to a higher feeding schedule. Since breastfeeding inhibits progesterone from the ovaries, but I guess since the placenta is taking over that function it shouldn't matter at this point? I may be over thinking things. But some good news, she is slowly getting back on track, not as often as she was, but it's getting better.
