I'm planning on giving up over the next few months, nursing works well for us but I'm ready to quit. If I'm honest, the only thing holding me back is convenience, the only thing that makes LO go back to sleep at 4.30 in the morning is a nursing session. And I don't want to get up at 4.30am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-while-pregnant-2#post-1451294 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:22:00 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1451294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 5 weeks and considering weaning before the beginning of the 2nd tri. BF to two was never a goal of mine although right now our relationship is really nice so I will be sad to see it go. But I really want a break before I have to give myself over again. It is important for me to BF my second exclusively and for my own sake I think I need that break before I mentally prepare to EBF again. Right now my son is 18 months and we nurse once daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-while-pregnant-2#post-1320478 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 10:27:16 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1320478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>37 weeks today and still nursing my 21 month old. It was important to ME to breastfeed DS1 for at least 2 years, so even when I almost dried up during the second trimester I continued tooffer it. Now I'm back to full-on colostrum and my only complaint is how oftenDS1 poops since colostrum is alaxative. </p> <p>The nipple sensitivity will pass. Your milk will slowly change but ifyou WANT to continue there's no reason to force your child to wean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-while-pregnant-2#post-1320463 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 10:04:04 +0000 Smar11 1320463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 23 weeks pregnant and am nursing my 19 month old two times a day. I definitely went through days where it was uncomfortable/painful, but I got used to the new feeling since it seems like he's not ready to wean. I'm not sure I want to tandem nurse so I may try to wean him in the next couple of months. I haven't decided yet! Or maybe DS will make the decision for me and self wean... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-while-pregnant-2#post-1320416 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 09:22:15 +0000 LemonLong 1320416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my questions are:<br /> Did you wean as soon as you got your BFP? I weaned shortly after. My LO was 14 months old. </p> <p>How long did you nurse for while pregnant? A couple of weeks</p> <p>How long did it take you to wean? It took no time at all! We were down to 2 sessions already. In the morning I would take LO straight down for breakfast with solids and with a straw cup of whole milk instead of nursing first and she was so into eating her breakfast she didn't seem to mind skipping the nursing. At night we would nurse before bed, but I started to give her dinner right before bed and she was too full to care that we again skipped nursing. </p> <p>A couple times after we weaned outside of the morning and night nursing times she would nuzzle my chest like she wanted to nurse, but turns out she was just hungry/thirsty and a snack with milk satiated her. </p> <p>She still uses a paci for comfort so I think nursing was more of a food thing for her and by making sure she had big enough meals she didn't mind weaning at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-while-pregnant-2#post-1320396 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 08:46:37 +0000 matador84 1320396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you wean as soon as you got your BFP? No<br /> How long did you nurse for while pregnant? about 10 weeks<br /> How long did it take you to wean? Not long, I didn't even realize my last session would be my last, I pretty much dried up.<br /> Any advice or recommendations? There are several others on the boards who nursed while pregnant. For me, I just dried up so I couldn't keep going. DS was 13 months old though when he weaned, so I was good with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-while-pregnant-2#post-1320348 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 07:03:23 +0000 Beyond2 1320348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am nursing my son (15 onths old) and I'm 25 weeks pregnant. He nurses 3 times a day and shows no signs of weaning so I'm not pushing it. Around 12 weeks my milk changed and the quantity dropped significantly. It was very painful from about 12-20 weeks but has since gotten much less painful. He definitly still gets something (colostrom I guess?) because he often let's his mouth run all over during a nursing session. Got to love a wet shirt after nursing lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-while-pregnant-2#post-1320256 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 01:16:35 +0000 lemondrop 1320256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed up until 9 weeks pregnant (#1 was 18 months when we weaned). It started getting really uncomfortable, and we were already well on our way to weaning (we started dropping feedings about 2 months before), so unless he initiated nursing I did not offer it. My former boob monster pretty much just forgot about it, much to my relief. The funny thing was that I was fine with going to 2 years before getting pregnant and was sad at the thought of weaning, but once it got uncomfortable I was way over it and ready to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-while-pregnant-2#post-1320251 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 01:08:46 +0000 mamimami 1320251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed while pregnant for about half of the pregnancy before my son self-weaned around age 18 months. I think he was not getting much milk at that point, in fact he bit me a few times which I think was due to that. He actually started nursing again when my other baby was born! Your discomfort may be temporary, so hang in there if you're not sure you want to wean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-while-pregnant-2#post-1320191 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 23:34:59 +0000 Aandmklover 1320191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey Ladies! I was wondering if anyone had any experience with being pregnant and nursing an older child. My DS is 15 months old and is still nursing about 3 times a day.<br /> At 8 weeks this was the first week it did not feel good to nurse. Eek!! </p> <p>So my questions are:<br /> Did you wean as soon as you got your BFP?<br /> How long did you nurse for while pregnant?<br /> How long did it take you to wean?<br /> Any advice or recommendations? </p>
