Default New to the thread lots of questions!

Hey Ladies,

My name is Tara, and I gave birth to my first baby Ethan in October. Ethan just turned 9 months friday and his father and I have been considering trying again. I am still breastfeeding and ethan has never had a bottle or formula. I wanted to know if any of you have had children so close together and what you found challenging (some of the things are obvious) I am also wondering how hard it is to concieve while bfing? I got my period again 2 months after having Ethan and I ve been pretty regular since. How long can you bf while pregnant? Sorry for all the q's!!!

Tara

and , tara!

My closest 2 are 2 weeks shy of 2 years apart. I think each age span has it's own + and -. The biggest concern I could see is some women have their milk supply drop to about nothing while pregnant, so if Ethan really depends on you for all his food needs, that may be an issue.


I am also wondering how hard it is to concieve while bfing? I got my period again 2 months after having Ethan and I ve been pretty regular since.
The biggest obstacle for most women ttc while bf is getting your fertility to return. Since you are getting regular cycles, your ttc journey should be short and sweet! Sometimes your lp (time between ovulation and period) is too short while bf, but it usually fixes itself after a couple cycles.


How long can you bf while pregnant?

Assuming your milk supply isn't hit too hard, you can nurse right through the pregnancy and even nurse both when baby is born. Many find that the nursling either gets mad because the milk tastes different or the supply drops, so he or she self weans.


Sorry for all the q's!!!
Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for!
