Hello doctor, i have 14 month old baby and now i am pregnant. can i continue breastfeed my baby? and i feel very much hungry every time doctor

Yes: You face the simple decision on how far into the pregnancy you want to bf or to just overlap.If this is a good nurturing time you both enjoy, continue.If you find yourself chasing baby down to feed & s/he makes it short & quickly gets off it is time to wean. Some older infants might feel displaced if the newborn begins to take there place either way, but if the older baby gives it up, it will be ok.

Nutrients: You may depriving the unborn baby of nutrients because they may be diverted to the nursing toddler. Whether you stop nursing the toddler or not is up to you. If you continue, then you need to step up your intake of nutritious foods and be sure to take your prenatal vitamins. Check with your obstetrician for further dietary recommendations.

Middle ground: Mild uterine contractions caused by breastfeeding may not impact a healthy pregnancy but certainly may if you have a history of premature birth, are experiencing pain, or you have any bleeding.Ask your ob. A typically-developing 14-month old can wean to a cup, & only needs 16-21 oz. Of milk & milk products/ day. If you wait till 15 mos., it'll be a lot harder to convince your baby to wean.
