Not that I would want to, but I know several people who got pregnant very close together. I was just wondering if you got pregnant again and say you had a 2-4 (if waiting the six weeks) month old at pregnancy, would your body stop producing milk and turn to colostrum? I'm just wondering whether your second would get the same benefits as the first child with the colostrum or if it would stay milk. And if not, would you have to take your first child off the breast. I'm just wondering because I know the benefits of breast milk. It was just something that I was wondering because I wasn't sure whether it would hurt either baby. By the time (if you waited four months) you had baby to term, the baby would be about a year so you could wean them, or would you wean them right a way. I was just curious to see. I'm going to wait at least a year because I want my daughter to be weaned before being pregnant. Anyone who can answer would be appreciated. Serious answers please.

D b, no I am not unaware. For a baby to get best benefits, you should breastfeed or formula feed a child until 1 year old. Yes, you can give cereal at four months if your baby is ready, but for the best benefits in breast milk 6 months to a year is best. Some people breast feed even longer. I was not sure however about when a person would have to ween their nursing child when they are pregnant.

The milk does go through changes... and for a few - only a few - women it present any real challenge in supply. It does not usually go back to colostrum until the third trimester, and even if you had a young baby when you conceived the 2nd time, the nursing baby would still be fairly close to a year, and solids could make up enough of the difference in his/her diet, that you would not have to introduce formula.
here's a whole list of more detailed topics on nursing during pregnancy, and then nursing both children in tandem:
http://www.kellymom.com/bf/tandem/index.html
it would not hurt either baby... and even if you were one of those rare women who had a supply issue, if you supplement w/ a supplemental nursing system (SNS), then your baby would still get all the physical/emotional benefits along w/the nutritinal benefits (plus the extra calories from the formula)
here's an SNS in use: http://www.breastfeed-essentials.com/accessories.html#SNS
I can understand your desire to have her weaned and one year old... but know that if you do get pregnant before then, she does not have to stop breastfeeding. Only in rare supply difficulties, or if you have a high risk placenta previa type of pregnancy would this not be an option for you.

When my first daughter was about a year old, I became pregnant. Around the 12th week of pregnancy, I think I lost my milk, but I've read that some women will produce milk longer into pregnancy. Eventually the pregnancy hormones will take over. My first child lost interest in nursing when she was 14 months old. At the time I was relieved because I had some tender nipples!

You absolutely can.
Some children will wean themselves during pregnancy because some mom's milk changes or decreases. Other moms can nurse through pregnancy and have no problems.
If you keep nursing both the newborn and the older infant, that's called Tandem nursing. It's practiced all over the world and can be very safe.
Yes, the milk does change to colostrum at the end of the pregnancy, but it will change back to mature milk within a couple days after delivery.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

it is going to likely be frustrating. if i've got been you, a minimum of start up and notice how long you're able to do it. even one week of breastmilk is greater powerful than no longer something. as for the guy who pronounced pumping....do no longer you already know that a minimum of doubles the quantity of time required to feed your toddler? whether somebody else supplies each and each bottle...you would be pumping for 15 minuites besides, so why no longer decrease out the midsection guy? that extremely does not save any time or liberate any time on your three hundred and sixty 5 days previous, this is purely a robust option for people who could bypass to paintings exterior the residing house and nonetheless desire to offer breastmilk. supply it your suitable try. it fairly is all you're able to do acceptable? And bypass one start administration....they have the mini pill that's risk-free on an identical time as breastfeeding. do no longer place self belief in breastfeeding to maintain you from getting pregnant back! it fairly is how i improve into conceived! He he. human beings weren't as recommended interior the 70s i think.

When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating.
The first thing to consider is how long have you been trying. About 80% of couples will get pregnant after six months of trying, and about 90% will be pregnant after 12 months of trying to get pregnant. Anyway this is a great methid to get pregnant fast https://tr.im/51901

I got pregnant while still nursing a nine-month-old baby. She self-weaned at 10 months and wasn't entirely happy about it, but she just didn't want my milk after that first month. I was really upset about it, but you can't make a baby nurse who doesn't want to nurse, so I had to let it go.

People have done it for centuries. It used to be very common for mothers to have young babies and be pregnant at the same time and they still breastfed. They had to. Of course this was before formula and for that matter effective birth control. But even now the Amish, who believe you should have as many children as possible as often as possible, do it. Just make sure you take good care of yourself and eat well because you will be providing nourishment for three instead of just you.

A lot of women still breastfeed while pregnant.. My husband's aunt got pregnant VERY soon while breastfeeding and she continued until the older baby was 6 months. It depends on how tired the mom is. Some women can handle it, some can't.

as long as you continue to breastfeed, you will continue to produce milk.., because your hormones will double after getting pregnant and giving birth again, the amount of milk you produce should increase, not decrease, and remain a constant after having the second baby...however you may not experiance things like your milk coming in for the first time, being that your milk is already in, and producing in a steady supply.
