Nope, I stopped at 15 months and then he was only on night feeds anyway

yup still BFing Leandra coming up to 14 months. My supply has dropped off heaps, but she wakes three times a night for a feed and I pump twice a day at work too. I'm looking to give up pumping by January and then night wean will be largely up to her.

How are you going with BFing and being pg? I hear that it can be painful. You may find that as your supply drops during the pg, your DC will wean themselves. One of my friends wanted to tandem, but her supply dried right up at 8 months pg and when DC tried to latch on once the new baby arrived they had forgotten how?

One of the other mums at playcentre is feeding two at the moment - a 2 and a half year old (who obviously doesn't drink that much these days) and a 10 week old so she managed to keep it up during the whole pregnancy

way to go :)

it is painful feeding now my milk is not meeting his demands so my nipples are getting very tender :( my right one this morning was VERY sore :(

i had to wean anneke and bianca when i was about 7months pregnant

[Kirsty]

S stopped at 1 week after she turned 1. I was ready to stop.

ouch indeed! It is hard when they are not satisfied with the amount supplied - mostly on your nips :pullhair: supply can be all over the place. I'm not sure if anything will help your supply go up, its the same as if you had AF (the changes in your supply dropping and building over your cycle).

But I heard eating lots of rolled oats, drinking lots of water, and increasing the amount of time your child is at teh breast can help....still, I also know its completly normal to lose that supply during pg and as they get older and older :grouphug:

:hug: You're doing well. My friend tandem fed her two, she kept it up right through pregnancy, and said it really helped after baby was born to have her supply already there (although the first child wasn't very impressed with colostrum).

[gingamum]

Still BF here. BR and I still enjoy it so what the heck LOL Sometimes she is a bit rough these days and does all sorts of acrobatics at the same time

Also if you do manage to tandem, your older child will usually plump up heaps with the newborn's first milk, cos it is fattier :)
