If you breastfed your 1st through a second pregnancy, please come in....

If you breastfed through a pregnancy, did you find that your milk came in earlier or later when baby was born? Someone told me that if I continue to fb my first, I won't have enough milk or it'll come in later when dd is born

I didn't breastfeed through my second pregnancy, but whoever told you that is wrong. Breastfeeding is all about supply and demand! You aren't going to run out of milk just because you do/do not continue to nurse..it doesn't work that way. No worries

I BF'd my first all the way through my pregnancy and then tandem nursed for 5 months. Nursing my toddler didn't seem to have impact on my post partum milk supply. If anything, I feel like it came in earlier than with my first. I guess that's because it never really left. Though my supply diminished significantly because of the pregnancy. It was by far one of the most beautiful gifts I was able to offer my older child. Jealousy never entered the picture when his sister was born because he too was still my baby.
