I am not sure that I understand your question.
Are you pregnant and still nursing?
If so, this is not recommended because your body is making a baby which takes what it needs from your body and you get the left overs so to speak. The bodies #1 chose is to grow, protect, ensure the health of a baby.
For instance if you got very sunburned on your belly. Your body would make sure that the uterous stays at a healthy temperture. Which might make your pulse quicken to ensure the safety of the baby.
Thus....if you are nursing and pregnant. The pregnant part of you will take away from your nursing abilities. It is time to stop nursing.
Stopping will also will give your now nursing time to not be jealous of the new little one.

If you are pregnant, your milk can change. It is perfectly safe to breastfeed while nursing - during early pregnancy the level of oxytocin is the same as when you have an orgasm. So if you have been placed on pelvic rest (no sex), you should not breastfeed. Otherwise, despite the advice of well meaning, but misinformed, healthcare professionals, you're fine to continue.
If little one does not seem to be getting enough, you may very well need to supplement, but do not need to give up nursing altogether.
www.kellymom.com has some great info on this, and there's a great book called Adventures in Tandem Nursing.

Guess you should have thought of that before you were so quick to get pregnant again. And you said Illyana would never be second? Guess she is 2nd now, since you have to stop breastfeeding her. You'll probably have to get a second job now since 2 babies does get a little costly and since you can't breastfeed anymore, she'll need to have formula and then she'll really be missing out on you. It's too bad you couldn't just wait until you were a little more mature and had your life straight before you had #2. Not a smart idea since you're only 19.
Or wait, I know. Maybe you should have thought about getting pregnant before you got rid of your anorexia. That's the best thought.

From what I've heard, milk production doesn't decrease or change because of pregnancy until your body starts to produce colostrum again for your new baby. I think that this doesn't start to happen until at least 4 months into the pregnancy.
Since most of us here aren't medically knowledgable in that area, it would probably be best to talk to your OBGYN for advice and suggestions on what you should do. Your little girl is still young, but supplementing with formula is fine, as well as starting her on solids if you haven't already.
Good luck with what ever you decide to do, and congrats on the pregnancy.

The stress of a fake pregnancy as well as large amounts of illegal drugs could be affecting your milk. Try just being a decent, drug free mother for a change and you may be in for a suprise. Report me again for "offending you" - I don't care, it's worth the points and I'll get them back.

She doesn't seem to be getting enough LOVE or attention either. I doubt it's the pregnancy, (because a fake pregnancy won't mess with your milk supply) it's most likely caused by all of the substances you are putting in your body. It's making you physically and emotionally unattached to your daughter. OR it's because you are supplementing with formula? or strictly giving her formula? (that's what one of your personalities said) ... your milk might completely be drying up. I hope you are giving her solids or something, don't starve the poor thing. Is your mom there? ... I'd like to have a word with her ...
(I heard you live in her trailer?) .......

There shouldn't be a problem with nursing during pregnancy as you increase your caloric intake and fluids, get plenty of rest, and generally take excellent care of yourself.
Here's some good info:

If you are breast feeding and pregnant your milk could go away.
