I am tandem nursing my 2. I nursed through pregnancy and baby #2 joined after birth and we have been going strong for a year now doing the tandem thing. And my #1 started nursing more frequently when I was pregnant and after the baby was born but now it's slowed down a bit since she turned 2. Hope to be triandem nursing soon. Welcome and good luck :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2#post-2519276 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 23:01:09 +0000 Kimberlybee 2519276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! I miss reading these announcements for the general audience. These are usually hidden in the due date threads now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2#post-2518910 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 17:03:42 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2518910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO#1 is 20 months and still nurses in the morning and before bed. I'm not super excited about trying to tandem nurse as he's a bit of a boob monster. I'm afraid he'll hog all the milk from the baby hahahah. But he's very strong willed and will NOT like weaning...so idk... :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2#post-2480055 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 13:29:44 +0000 daniellealys 2480055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Thank you!<br /> @LAZB: Thanks friend :D<br /> @MrsSRS: Great idea, thank you so much<br /> @Rockies11: Thank you for sharing. I can totally understand how it would be super overwhelming. I found just nursing a newborn to be completely overwhelming.<br /> @jh524: I want to BF as long as possible. I want him to wean himself. I don't want to wean him and then start BFing the new baby, you know? :( He is just such a little nursing, he loves it so much and so do I. I think base case would be that he weans a few months before I have baby 2. But, who knows??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2#post-2479144 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 20:13:29 +0000 jh524 2479144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellealys: congrats and welcome!!! Are you gonna try to BF throughout your pregnancy? Ready to wean? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2#post-2477642 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 15:12:18 +0000 Rockies11 2477642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi! Congratulations! I got pregnant with #2 when #1 was 12 months and still nursing all the time. I had no supply issues and she nursed all the way through and then tandem nursed. It's common when you're pregnant to have supply issues, nipple sensitivity and milk changes that cause self-weaning but it doesn't happen all the time. I wanted her to self wean but that didn't happen, so I ended up weaning her when she was 2 because she was nursing more than the newborn and I was having trouble coping with it! My advice is to take it one day at a time and see how it goes. I had an extremely difficult pregnancy and recovery and I put a lot of pressure on myself to keep up nursing. I had a lot of angst about ending our nursing relationship, especially because she'd gone completely off solids at that point, but I needed to and it was actually not a big deal at all after about 2 days. So take care of yourself because you're important - nursing is a two way relationship and both parties have to get enjoyment from it. And if it's still working for you, then it is doable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2#post-2477635 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 14:46:43 +0000 MrsSRS 2477635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there are some ladies on here who tandem nursed, so maybe try a thread with that in the title if they don't comment here! Congrats! As long as it's working for you, follow the baby. Maybe LO1 will wean on his own or decrease nursing. 9 months is a loooong time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2#post-2477558 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 12:49:21 +0000 LAZB 2477558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellealys: glad you joined in over here :) congrats again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2#post-2477545 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 12:26:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2477545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2#post-2477542 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 12:22:01 +0000 daniellealys 2477542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello everyone<br /> First time poster here<br /> I just found out this morning that I'm a few weeks pregnant with baby #2!! Yay!!!<br /> I have a 11.5 month old who still nurses like a newborn. I'm a little overwhelmed about him weaning, or tandem nursing.<br /> I'm so excited but also stressed about logistics.</p> <p>Any advice??? </p>
