A member asked:

Can you still breastfeed if your pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Natalie Hodge answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Yes!: This is perfectly safe to continue breastfeeding. AAP recommends breastfeeding for one year and as long as baby and mom would like to continue, WHO recommends two years of breastfeeding. Interestingly most mammals stop breastfeeding around the time molars erupt, which in humans is around the age of two.

Dr Russo and another doctor agreed
