Any mom's breastfed 2 babies close in age?
I'm planning to start weaning Finn in August (when he's 1), and then Ollie will be born at the end November. I don't know what to expect from my milk production though. Will I need to pump after weaning to make sure I don't dry up before Ollie is born?

Why not keep breastfeeding if that's the case? Its recommeded to breastfeed until 2 anyway so if youre going to be atill breastfeeding the new baby....id just nurse them both. That's just me though. However, if you do choose to wean finn at 1 you don't need to pump. Once the baby is born your body will signal your breasts to produce again

@arivera64 I'm hoping that weaning will help Finn become a little more independent before his brother is born, right now he's very clingy with me. And I'll be in the hospital for 4-5 when I have Ollie, so I wouldn't be able to breastfeed Finn, and I want to make it as easy for my MIL watching him as possible 😅
If I weren't having his brother so soon after, I probably would breastfeed him a little longer.
I just wasn't sure if breastfeeding while pregnant, then quiting breastfeeding while pregnant would get my hormones all mixed up, haha.

Sorry, i fell asleep but if anything..taking his milk away and then seeing his sibling getting milk just a couple months later may cause a regression. Finn won't be able to visit the hospital once a day while you're gone? You can maybe start to cut him down to 2 nursing sessions. I mean, it really is totally up to you mama. I just want to share other possibilities and thoughts. Either way, I'm sure everything will be ok.
