Not much more: Most obstetricians do not want you nursing while pregnant because your new baby needs all the nutrition you can give. At 1 yr and a half your older baby is nursing for comfort not nutrition . Try to find other ways to comfort baby to sleep, like good close snuggles and a story?

Breastfeeding causes: Mild uterine contractions that may be a problem if you had a premature delivery or you have bleeding or pain. An 18-mo.-old can wean to a cup (limit milk & milk products to 16-21 oz./ day) & learn to calm herself to sleep if you consistently read, nurse, brush her teeth & put her in her crib drowsy, but awake the healthy child app (www.Aap.Org) explains how to ignore her protests gradually.
