is it safe to breastfeed while pregnant?

ah, okay.. i see. :( i wouldn’t know how to take her off since she doesn’t take a sippy cup at all and doesn’t like formula 😔

@ter.aley I would ask your dr about it. My son was 14 months old, so we introduced a bottle with cows milk which he refused at first, but once he realized it was bottle or nothing, he was all in. Then we had to wean the bottle lol it's a bit of a crapshow... if you think you can breastfeed and be pregnant, go for it! Just make sure you really get all your nutrients. Lots of veggies, fruits, milk...

@ter.aley, how far along are you? I don’t recall getting cramps early on but I also lost my milk supply (not sure precisely when but I had two pregnancies back to back and I think that helped kill my supply) and then it turned to colostrum for the last few months of my pregnancy but my toddler didn’t seem to care about the change. He doesn’t really drink cow’s milk either but likes yogurt and cheese to get his calcium and stuff. It is harder for you since your little isn’t over a year yet. I would probably just try different bottles or cups. My son loved the straw ones (before he got super chewy). :/

@gecko_mom, i would say around, maybe 5 weeks. it makes me sad, because she only likes to be on my breast. 😔 if my milk supply does drop, should i be giving her formula?

@ter.aley, At 9 months definitely. Breast milk or formula should still be the primary source of calories at that age. :/ Could you pump at all and try to get her transitioned to a bottle or cup of some sorts? Definitely at 5w breastfeeding wouldn’t hurt your peanut. :)
