But tandem nursing for us didn't start until a few weeks in... My toddler decided he wanted back in the game hahaha. I guess some advice is it's ok to tell the toddler the baby needs the milk so she should lay off a bit. It can be a little overwhelming having them both after you all he time. But it's great for supply and it's also like a secret weapon to keep them both entertained at once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursing-and-the-first-few-days-advice#post-1068641 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:53:22 +0000 LittleGBee 1068641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping to find a little bit of support on what to expect in the first few days or weeks of tandem nursing. I don't know many people in real life who have nursed a newborn and a toddler at once, so I'm turning to the wealth of knowledge that is HelloBee! </p> <p>My daughter is 21 months, still nursing 2-3 times/day, and I'm due with our second in 2 weeks. I'm planning on tandem nursing but holding expectations rather loosely. I'll attempt to wean my toddler if I start to feel overwhelmed. </p> <p>So, what do you wish you would have known? What's the best advice you can give me? Did your milk change as an indication of labor at all? What books/resources/blogs were the most helpful to you? (I took a look at KellyMom and wasn't super impressed) Anything else I should know about? </p> <p>Thanks in advance ladies! </p>
