I'm an extended breastfeeder, my little one is 2y 4m and still feeds (not even just at night!!!) and so far it's been fine? Is my milk likely to dry up though? Or does anyone know what happens?

I don't think milk stops, just slowly turns to colostrum so there's less and it tastes different. Some kids notice, some don't.

The boob that I don't use is so much more tender than the boob I do use, I don't even remember tender boobs first time round.

I can't ask the questions on my local support group as my friends could see that I'm pregnant and don't really want to tell them yet.

Out of curiosity, doesn't the colostrum only last a few days (but this being the important stuff you want your newborn to receive?). So if a toddler was breastfeeding could the colostrum run out and turn to milk again before the new baby is born? Or does it only turn to colostrum after birth?

 

[CARNAT22]

I think I'll have a Google and see what happens with the milk.

I don't plan to still be feeding Bee when baby comes (although she may have other ideas)

How are we all coping with the heat? It's 28c here in London and I'm not a happy bunny. ..it's also my birthday and I'm currently in bed with a fan on me [which is blissful and all I really want to be doing] but OH and kids want us all to do something.... I think I can manage park and ice cream???

I've hit a complete brick wall with tiredness today. I feel so deeply exhausted. It's quite debilitating.

Anyone having strong cramps/shooting pains at all? Xx

Happy birthday Carnat!

Very hot here in Wales as well for a change. Currently sitting out on a lounge under the parasol with an ice lolly

Treetrunks - yes, a lot. It was one of the reasons I booked an early scan at 6w. All was fine though x

 

[treetrunks]

Good to hear Wednesday thanks xx

The birth hormones (I.e placenta being gone) are thought to be what trigger it turning into milk and it isn't related to how much you feed LO.

I would rather not be tandem feeding but I can't be arsed with the argument of weaning. Hopefully the milk changing will be enough to got my boy to self wean.

Hey everyone!!

I'm poking my head in here to say hello!! I got my BFP today, this is mine and my OH's first child, were both super excited!!

According to the Ovia Pregnancy app I'm exactly 4 weeks today.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!!

 

[treetrunks]

Hi boobaby I got my bfp yesterday, so we are in the same timescale? How are you feeling any symptoms? Xx

 

[Boobaby]

Hi treetrunks!! Congratulations on your BFP!!

the only reason I tested was because my sense of smell seemed to have changed. I was baking yesterday and I went to wash the pots afterwards and everything stunk!! It was really strange!

Today I've had a few pinches very low down towards the right, but that's it so far, how about you?

 

[MissFeb1989]

Hey boobaby! Congratulations! What's your EDD? I'll add you to the front page xx

 

[Wednesday]

Congrats Boobaby!

 

[Boobaby]

Hi MissFeb1989, thank you!!

According to my Ovia app it's 24th February! Xx

 

[treetrunks]

Forgot to say congratulations boobaby! Yes symptoms are achy sore boobs, had some nipple tenderness, really sharp shooting pains over the past couple of days, tiredness, noticed also I was more out of breath when climbing up a hill today, slight nausea earlier, look a bit more bloated. Xx

I see. I'm new to all this, with this being my first pregnancy I remember being told that the first few days once the baby is born is the most important time for feeding your newborn (so it gets the colostrum) is that right? Because I know I won't be able to breast feed longer term so I'm planning to bottle feed straight away too, but I'll be happy if they get the colostrum xxx
