Breastfeeding While Pregnant

If you have found yourself here you may have some questions regarding nursing a child while pregnant. I had your same questions when I found out that I was pregnant while nursing my 1.5 year old. I nursed him for approximately 4 months while pregnant before he self weaned. So let’s dive deep into your burning questions, concerns, and curiosities.

I loved breastfeeding while pregnant but in full transparency when he stopped nursing during my second trimester I was ready! We were concerned that he may wish to begin again once he saw me nursing his little sister. However, he was just very curious. He became my personal cuddle buddy during my nursing sessions and I like to think that they bonded during that time. Whether you are planning to become pregnant while nursing or were completely surprised, rest assured knowing that it is safe and can be a wonderful experience. Until next time!
