I need advice, don't know how to "ask the experts". I am due in December. My ds will be 4yo in Nov. and has decided that he wants to nurse occasionally at night (which is fine with me). My ? is: will this jeopardize my supply of milk, particularly colostrum when the baby arrives?<br>
Also, any suggs on how to deal with helping him to understand that baby will need to nurse first and longest? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/confused.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Confused">:<br>
Any other comments from those who have been in a similar situation appreciated.

Try this link. Or do a search here on breastfeeding while pregnant or tandem nursing. Lots of moms here have done/are doing it.<br><br><a href="http://216.92.20.151/discussions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81377" target="_blank">http://216.92.20.151/discussions/sho...threadid=81377</a>

No, your milk will be fine when the baby arrives. I nursed my DD up until my 7th month when the milk finally stopped. She still wanted to nurse off and on over the next few months. I had no problems when the baby came in march. Since the baby's been here she has asked to nurse even a few more times so be prepared for that also. But don't worry it won't hurt your supply from my experiance/
