re-introducing BFing; while pregnant. Help?  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I was exclusively nursing DD2 until she was 7 months old. Got pg with DS1 when she was 6 months, though. Continued nursing til I literally dried up at 3 1/2 months pregnant. Now I am 27 weeks (so that makes.. 6 1/2 months?) pregnant and my colustrum just came in, I want to get her nursing again. (Shes almost 13 months now) but I don't know how to go about it. I don't know if it'd be best to wait until DS is born, or if it's like "the sooner the better" so she hasn't fully lost her latch? Has anyone gone through this? Any advice? I'm not worried about it causing preterm labor. I don't believe that would happen. (3rd pregnancy, and no problems while nursing in the beginning of the pg)
Any help would be really great.

I would try now! If you have colostrum I say the sooner the better. DS nursed through my entire pregnancy but I went from milk strait to colostrum.. I never dried up.

I would just make sure she latches on well and make sure she is opening wide.. It maybe hard to tell if you have sore nips from bfing or prenancy so watch her latch well.. If it doesn't hurt the 1st time then suddenly does then once again watch the latch!

Good lock mama!!!!!!!!
