I am still breastfeeding my 17 month old. I plan to to nurse through pregnancy (if he wants to) and nurse both babies together afterwards.

I have been having super sore nipples, but it's tolerable.

Anyone else? How is it going for you?

I just finished nursing my son, he is 18 months old.
I have never been able to nurse and be pregnant at the same time.
I have history of pre-term labor and actually got contractions when I tried to nurse my first while pregnant with my second, and I was only like 1-2 months pregnant!!!
But, I am not the normal! That is exciting that you can do both, how long do you plan on nursing? the whole pregnancy?

I am! She's 12 months and I will bf until prob 3 months before in due. I want a couple months of space so that's not another point of jealousy. I did the same with ds when I was preggo with my lo and it worked perfect.

Not bf now (obviously my son is 13) but I nursed him until about 12mos old...def plan to bf the new baby as long as possible. I'll probably be returning to work shortly after unfortunately, so I'll pump as long as I can....I wasn't working when I had my son so this will be a new experience for me...

Im not nursing anymore. My kids are 5 and 3 (not that ppl dont nurse 5 and 3 year olds for that matter, which I think is pretty awesome). I had a tough go of it with dd1. PPD was involved and no milk and no latch. My 3 year old was an awesome nurser. She was EBF with no paci or bottle till 6 months, when I went back to work and lost my milk :/.

Part of the deal of getting me to agree to TTC this baby was that I would get to nurse until 12 months at least. I'd like to nurse way past that though. Glad your still nursing ladies. Nursing while pregnant and tandem nursing can be tough. Good for you!

I am currently breastfeeding my 15m old and plan to do the same as you, nurse through pregnancy and then tandem after. If he'll have it, but the kid is a major boob addict, I suspect he will....

I nursed my son until he self weaned, which was around 14 months old...planning to nurse new baby as well...worried about starting over with latch, sore nipples, and clogged ducts!

DD stopped nursing in June so I will get a little break but I look forward to nursing this LO when he/she arrives. It took almost a week for my milk to come in with DD and I hope to avoid that long wait. It was pure hell getting started.

I nursed both boys and plan to nurse again. My youngest weaned around 15 months and I was really sad. I love everything about breast feeding and I'm looking forward to doing it again

Looking forward to BFing the next one. My son is almost 3 and I had to wean him at 8 months. I was on antibiotics and needed to stay on them, and it was really really bothering his little tummy. He was in too much pain so we weaned him when we figured out what it was.
He did so great and I didn't ever have any problems nursing, other than getting past that first 2-4 weeks of curl-your-toes nursing at the beginning. I hope the next one is the same! Never had to go through nursing with him having teeth, he didn't cut any till after he was weaned.
