A member asked:

Breastfeeding when pregnant? should you stop breastfeeding if you find out your pregnant or can your body handle both?

Quit: After conception, lactation will naturally stop due to rising hormone levels from pregnacy, so stopping makes sense.

Depends: I have had mothers tandem feed their newborn and their 1 yo at the same time and some that did not. I see no reason to suddenly stop because you are pregnant.If the kid you are feeding is at a point where they want to finish and play and don't value the nurturing as much, you can begin transitioning off. Your body can do what your diet,and rest support.
