hi,
Need advise i have just come to know that i am 2 months pregnant i have a 1 yr 3mnths son whom i am breast feeding is it safe to bm him while i am pregnant . I have tried to stop feeding him but all in vain. Rebecca replied. There appears to be no scientific evidence that nursing is contraindicated during pregnancy. There is also no reason why you must stop breastfeeding your child after one year and there are many benefits to extended breastfeeding. THis is a personal decision you need to make.

I am pasting some information on nursing during pregnancy from kellymom(dot)com.
Can you breastfeed during pregnancy?
Yes, in most cases. At this time no medical study has been done on the safety of breastfeeding during pregnancy so it is impossible to list any definitive contraindications. If you are having a complicated pregnancy, such as lost weight, bleeding, or signs of preterm labor, you should problem-solve your individual situation with your caregiver. Depending on your individual situation and feelings you may decide that continued breastfeeding, reduced breastfeeding, or weaning is for the best.

Breastfeeding Contractions
Although uterine contractions are experienced during breastfeeding, they are a normal part of pregnancy. Similar contractions often occur during sexual intercourse, which many couples continue throughout pregnancy.

Miscarriage/Preterm Labor Risks
This is a common worry, but it does not appear to have a strong foundation. A recent review of research on the pregnant uterus reveals that there is actually no theoretical basis for the common concern that breastfeeding can lead to miscarriage or preterm labor in healthy pregnancies. Instead the uterus has many safeguards preventing a strong reaction to the oxytocin that breastfeeding releases.

Interestingly, experts on miscarriage and preterm labor are not among those who see a potential link between breastfeeding and these pregnancy complications. Miscarriage expert Lesley Regan, PhD, MD, quoted in Adventures in Tandem Nursing, saw no reason that breastfeeding should impact pregnancy, even if the mother has a history of miscarriage or is experiencing a threatened miscarriage.

Mother's health
There is no evidence that a well nourished mother who nurses during pregnancy is at risk nutritionally. Breastfeeding does not increase a mother's risk for osteoporosis, even when the mother nurses during pregnancy. Breastfeeding reduces the mother's risk of breast cancer.

Nursling's health
Your child will benefit from breastfeeding into the second year and beyond. The milk is just as safe during pregnancy, but pregnancy can cause milk to dwindle and can also motivate mother and child to wean. Thus if pregnancy does cause a child to receive less milk, the child will receive proportionally fewer of milk's health advantages. Indeed, weaning before two years increases the risk of illness for a child, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Hetal replied. not advisable..soon you will on roller coaster ride with hormonal imbalances,,right now basically you are nursing 2 babies, with one body, and your elder son doesnt require you much like the way you little baby inside needs you..
your son is already 1 year, and he doesnt need your bm as of now, unless your dr has recommended,,so wean him asap.
be unavailable during feeding times,let someone else take care of him/soothe him,,and it should work.
practise that, until he leaves the hope.
sooner the better for you.dont strain your body by nursing 2 babies, and still if you want, make sure your dr puts you on extra dossage of multivitamins than regular prenatals.

good luck console replied. Please...you have to completely stop it right now.it is not at all advisable to feed while you are pregnant.your baby is more than a year now,so while you are pregnant is is not necessary to breast feed him.distract him whenever he feels like feeding.give him somother food or take him out and try not to give him.after 2 or 3 days without feeding he will forget.congratulations for your pregnancy and take care of your health.
