My LO is still content to nurse and asks for it often.</p> <p>I think the only reason it made pregnancy harder is because LO was still pretty needy of me, and I need really had time for a break.</p> <p>Now I have a question about tandem nursing: when the baby comes, do you not offer to the toddler until your milk comes in, since colostrum is in limited supply? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursingnursing-when-pregnant#post-1174595 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 11:42:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 1174595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you just insanely hungry all the time if you are nursing and pregnant? I'm thinking of how much hungrier I was pregnant, and now while nursing... Is it doubled? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursingnursing-when-pregnant#post-1174572 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 11:33:45 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1174572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: I didn't think it was any harder nursing while pregnant than my first pregnancy. I dried up around 12 weeks (Ellie was old enough to tell me) but she continued to nurse anyway until about two weeks before Lorelei was born. She self-weaned at that time. I definitely had some serious nipple sensitivity and nursing would sometimes/often make me squirm a little, but it was manageable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursingnursing-when-pregnant#post-1174543 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 11:21:13 +0000 Vegmama 1174543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to thread jack :: Do you think it's harder being pregnant while nursing? Like, you need to eat more? Or you're more tired? So curious about this! AND, big high fives to you mamas!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursingnursing-when-pregnant#post-1174436 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 10:37:37 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1174436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>after first tri there was a change and then in third tri major dip. we did go down to morning/evening only though because i had major aversion but little boy never stopped completely and we are still tandem nursing. i wrote about it in detail on my blog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursingnursing-when-pregnant#post-1174368 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 10:12:48 +0000 junebugmama 1174368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: I don't want to force weaning. Plus American Association of Pediatrics recommends bf'ing until at least 2, and there's part of me that feels like I'm robbing him a little bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursingnursing-when-pregnant#post-1170049 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 21:24:04 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1170049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am interested in this as well because my son shows no signs of weening and if anything has picked it back up full blast. He freaks when I deny him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursingnursing-when-pregnant#post-1170037 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 21:18:17 +0000 junebugmama 1170037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: I'm hoping my guy will hold on even through the dip if it happens </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursingnursing-when-pregnant#post-1169182 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 14:51:45 +0000 bushelandapeck 1169182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a little over 8w and DS is 14.5mos. I haven't noticed a real drop yet since being pregnant but I am definitely hoping that he weans on his own before the next one is born. He only nurses twice a day now so I think it will happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursingnursing-when-pregnant#post-1169173 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 14:46:50 +0000 chopsuey 1169173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed a dip at around 15 weeks. I nursed and continued to nurse DD 3-5x/day until DS was born and tandem nursed for 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-nursingnursing-when-pregnant#post-1169093 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 14:24:28 +0000 junebugmama 1169093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is a boob man all the way. At 17 months he still nurses about 8 times per day. I'm now 11 weeks pregnant and my supply doesn't seem to have dipped that much, if anything.</p> <p>If you nursed when pregnant, when did you see a major change? How often were you nursing? </p>
