Who's breastfeeding whilst pregnant?

Who's breastfeeding whilst pregnant?


I have an (almost) 11 month old daughter who since I've found out I'm pregnant has lost interest in feeding. Has this happened to anyone else?

I haven't breastfed during pregnancy but in one of the groups I was in when I was nursing my son there was plenty of women who did. The most common thing that was noted was the pregnancy caused the milk to dry up (usually babies more fussy at breast for lack of milk) or the baby lost interest in nursing because the milk changes in taste and they don't like it. You baby is also at the nursing strike age as well so it could really be anything of those things all you can do is keep offering or switch to an alternate feeding source.

I still bf my 19 month old. Just at night time. We'd been trying to wean before we got pregnant, but he's stubborn and loves his momma lol

I was at first. My son will be three next month. We have gone officially a week without it. It was rough, I keep distracting him with something else. My boobs are way too sore and I want a little break before I have to do it all over again with #2

My daughter will turn one soon and she is obsessed with the boob still. I'm hoping she will self wean before baby gets here.

This is happening to me. My dd turned 11 months old today and is losing interest in nursing. She also spits up more now than she did before. I think she is trying to wean, which I am okay with but I do not want to give her formula for this last month. I am hoping she can make it the next 4 weeks until I can transition her to whole milk.


I have had 0 breast pain this time too (this is baby 4). My nipples hurt when she latches but that's it

I just want to say how brave you ladies are for breastfeeding while pregnant! My boobs hurt so bad, I don't even let my husband near them! I couldn't imagine breastfeeding right now.

I plan on pumping for my daughter when my milk comes back in. She's 8 months, so I'm planning on mixing it with formula or something just so i can help with flu season. Idk if it will work though

I'm still currently breastfeeding my 7 month old. I attempted giving her bottle with formula and breast milk but she wants nothing to do with it. She prefers the boob. My boobs don't hurt and didn't with her either. My nipples just are sore when she latches on. But my milk supply has dropped drastically so I will have to switch her soon.

I'm still breastfeeding my 2 year old while 7 weeks. It's painful for the first latch but after that it's fine. It seems like he's nursing a lot more since we found out we were pregnant. I'm hoping he weans himself sometime in this pregnancy.

I breastfed my firstborn and found out I was pregnant with #2 when he was 6month old. Breastfed all the way till he was 11months. Now my 2nd is 11months old and we just found out we are Prego. He's still nursing but I'm nursing only for naps and bedtime.

That sounds like me exactly. My daughter was 11 months when I found out I was pregnant and she just stopped wanting to nurse. No breast tenderness whatsoever, and 24/7 nausea too.

I have a 21 month old, still nursing... Kind of over it at this point. It must taste different because he makes this really goofy face every time he tries. It's cute hehe..

I'm also still breastfeeding my 15month old .. I've been getting her on the bottle to minimise the amount of time she breastfeeds . I wish she wasn't interested in breastfeeding anymore but seems like she's more into bfeeding now than before and so clingy to me .. Makes it so hard to bottle feed . have any of you breastfed till your baby was born ? Im 7weeks btw :)

Thank you for all of your replies.

I'm sad that our breastfeeding journey seems to be over so soon but I'm glad that she has decided to do it and not me.

I don't really want to give her formula for the next month plus she wouldn't even take a bottle and I had to try her with formula in the past because of her low weight and she reused to try it. She's only on the 2nd percentile so can't afford to miss out on feeds. Not sure what to do really? In just over a month she can have cows milk. I think I'll have to talk to my HV on Monday.


It's funny really, one of the first symptoms I had was sore breasts and now pretty much nothing. I remember last time taking my bra off at night and being in agony lol

If you still wanna bf keep offering breast around 10/11 months babies do nursing strikes for a week or so some times longer sometimes short and people often mistake it for them wanting to wean especially if your not ready to wean yet. If you are I recommend pasturized goats milk its very similar to our breast milk so its easy on their tummy until you can transition to cows milk. I had to start my son on goats milk at 10 months old during the day but still nursed at night he had no issues drinking it though I did at first have to mix it with breast milk before I could transition him to just goats milk. But its super easy to digest unlike cows milk.

I'm bf'ing my 2 year old. My nipples are sore and painful when he latches, but that's about it. He seems to want to do it more for comfort than anything as he is eating solids, of course. I'm sorry your journey is ending, but you did a great job thus far!! You should be proud.
