anyone currently nursing?

[arismommy]

My 2 1/3 yo is still nursing and until yesterday I was thinking about how lucky I am that my breasts aren't sore.
Well-all that changed yesterday--they are soo sore!!
It's not unbearable but I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to soothe them.
I am thinking lanolin isn't going to help since they aren't cracked/bleeding and it's just pregnancy tenderness??
Anyone else going through this?

Popin in from the January club. I'm nursing my 2 year old dd and at first it wasn't sore at all. I thought I was one of those lucky ones. Not to be. :bag: Now at 19 weeks its VERY sore for me. I think you're right, I doubt lanolin would work. Hang in there mama, you aren't alone! :thumb

We are still nursing but I am not sure for how much longer. I am exhausted and the pain is great. It makes me sad for my dd because I know she loves her time nursing but I am selfish and just not enjoying the pain. DD also says my milk is funny now- I am sure she means it tastes funny to her.

we are :) i really hope to be able to continue. i'm still so early in the pg that i have no symptoms or anything, so i have no breast soreness. i'm just going to see how it goes and hope for the best. :)

I thought I was going to make it through pain free, but I also become really sore about a week ago - tenderness, not the early days of nursing split/bleeding nipples.

i agree that it's not a lansinoh solution (sigh)

I hope to work through it, but I continually ahve to tell my 26 month DS to be 'gentle' while he's nursing. OUCH!

I am still nursing our 13 month old ds. I love it! I am not ready at all to give it up, but my doc is already telling me to wean by 12 weeks :blah . I'm going to tell him I'm not going to if he asks me again. I don't think he will push the issue.

my dd is almost 16 mos and we are still nursing

my breasts are getting tender but mainly on the left side.

I was planning to wean at 2, but I am expecting on 4/30 and my DD is 2 on 4/28

I don't think that tandem nursing would be for me, but we'll see i got a long way to go still before I need to worry about that.

<3 greenbean!!
how are you momma

[arismommy]

So I posted this question less than a week ago and I'm no longer having any discomfort!!!!
Amazing! :D
Hope you all are as lucky too!

JAMIE!!!!!!!!!! :bouncy

I had to do a double take when I saw your post! :LOL

I am so excited we are having babies at the same time and both of us are still nursing. I don't think Snuggs is going to go much longer though because my milk is very minimal right now.

Just like nursing isn't for everyone- tandem nursing isn't either. I am not sure how I feel about it or that Snuggs will even be interested in 7 months from now. Okay well that was a fib- just thinking about tandem nursing makes me exhausted! :blah

Does anyone else feel like they have more milk now that they are pregnant? My little ds is so happy that he has given up solids and has had a few breast milk poop dipers. Last pregnancy I lost my milk around 3 months. It doesn't look like I am going to lose it anytime soon.

I am still nursing my 16 month old. I am actually hoping that she will self-wean during the pregnancy. Especially since she is still waking in the bight for BFs. I definately don't think I have the energy to tandem nurse (especially if the new baby is anything like DD was and a round the clock nurser). I would quite like a little break from nursing before the baby comes (I know that's selfish of me).

Having said that I am not keen to force the issue with DD and we will see what the second trimester brings in terms of my feelings (i.e. I will be feeling physically a lot better then so my attitude may have changed. Right now I am feeling sick as a dog and in need of sleep).

sleep... :zzz :zzz
what a novel concept...

I hear you on that one, that was my thoughts, we were surprised to have a BFP this time around, since we have been so well planned with our other 2.

My biggest concern is that my DD will be mean towards the baby , since she smacks daddy when he tries to mess with her and play the mine game with my breasts hehe.



yea it's pretty exciting to be pregnant together! After all; these years, having our rotation out of whack is nice :) I am still recovering from the shock of it all
