Breastfeeding: Only need to stop breastfeeding if you have a history of pregnancy complications including premature labor and delivery. Check in with your OB for further information.

Many do: The superiority of BM over alternatives begins to wain around 8m.If baby #1 begins to make quick work of feeds and you have to catch him to do a feed, you might transition him.Have a simple break to prepare for #2.Newborn milk differs from later feed so the body can make the change.Yet many feed right up to delivery and beyond.If you stay healthy and feel well you can feed both in tandem.
