Anyone else still nursing?  

post #1 of 59

My almost 21 month old little guy is still going strong . So far, it hasn't been to painful. I'm sure hoping it stays that way, as I'm guessing I'll be tandem nursing again.

Nope, we finally weaned on the 13th, having successfully (in retrospect) DTD on the 10th.

So I don't get to be part of the pregnant and nursing club afterall.

I'm glad it's not painful for you.

We weaned 3 months ago. I did not want to be nursing and pregnant. BUT there are times when I would still like to nurse. Ultimately it was the best decision for the both of us.

Good luck on your tandeming journey! Hopefully your milk will keep flowing.

Me! My daughter will be 3 in less than a month. She is nursing still several times a day (mostly to fall asleep and wake up happily). I have nursed through two other pregnancies, and tandem for about 6 months total. I let my children self wean so who knows this will last, I hope awhile!

My DD is 22mo and nursing 5x a day/night. Everything seems to be going well! I hope my milk stays!

I'm so glad to see there are some other nursing mama's here! Let's hope we can all keep our supply up. I'm eating oatmeal everyday, as that helped alot last pregnancy.

Still nursing here as well Thanks for the oatmeal tip! I'm hoping my son will stick with it through pregnancy (if he so desires), that I can nurse him gracefully and we can tandem when new baby arrives.

Tandem nursing is great! My 2nd dd just weaned a month ago, so we tandem nursed for almost 20 monthes :. It made my 2nd dd's transition with the new baby so easy.

Nursing here! I just added myself to the roll call, but thought I would pop in here, I have a 26 month old nursling. I can't see her stopping her nursing anytime soon, so nursing we go. I nursed in the beginning of my pregnancy with # 2 (my now 26 month old) and stopped at 2+ months pregnant after I got the heebie jeebies when nursing, so hopefully that doesn't happen again!

I am still nursing my 2 1/2 yo. She would nurse all day if I let her. I don't see her stopping in the near future so hopefully I am able to keep nursing. I nursed through my second pregnancy although I do remember not enjoying it at some points.

I'm still nursing!

This is baby #7 for us. Baby #5 (3.5 dd) nurses once a day and Baby #6 (1 ds) still nurses all day long. I'm thinking dd who'll be 4 in Dec. could probably stop very soon, but the little guy... his milkies are his life!

I'm sure hoping my milk holds up through the pregnancy!

weirdest timing

I was nursing when I mc in May, but dd 3yrs has just stopped within the last month, and now I'm again. Weird timing, cause I did NOT like nursing while pregnant last time, nursing child #3 while pregnant with #4. It gave me the willies around 6 months and I definitely wanted to stop.

I guess I'm glad to not be nursing. DD is fine with it, she still asks for them, but then just lays on them, like they're handy pillows! LOL

Still nursing here too, DD turned 2 in June. I have crazy milk production right now and she is loving it. I really hope it dwindles down in a couple of months and she loses interest.

I am still nursing my 18 mos old. Its not too painful right now which I am thankful for. I have nursed at least part way through 6 (now 7) pgs. And this is probably the least painful its been so Yea for me lol.

I'm still nursing my 23 month old 1-2 times a day. I can hardly stand it because it is so painful. She can go without. She does not make a big stink if I say I cannot nurse, so I'm probably going to start the weaning process....

17 month old DS is still nursing. In fact, he seems to be comfort nursing MORE now than before I got preggo. I have never nursed during pregnancy, so I have no idea what to expect. I'm not really sure how I feel about it all, honestly, but have no plans of intentionally weaning.

16 month old still nursing tons hoping to tandem nurse this time, I regret not doing it last time although it got really hard, and was really hurting. I'm hoping to use belief suggestions, barley water, oatmeal, and anything else I can think of to get through it.

ETA I'm due the exact same day I was with 16 month old ds, dh and I fought a lot during that pregnancy and I'm kind of looking at this as a due over (pun intended )

What's barley water? I've never heard of this for supply.
