Kate, congrats on the BFP! My milk dropped dramatically at 16 weeks. DD continued to feed, but was more than willing to roll over and go to sleep without a boob because there really wasn't much there. I started getting loads of colostrum towards the end (I could tell from DD's poos) and DD didn't seem to notice the change. I also noticed DD's food intake increased heaps when my milk went down. Don't stress...your DD won't starve herself!
Having fed through pregnancy, I can say I am happy I perservered, although I am having doubts about this tandem feeding business. Its hard when you're trying to feed a newborn and a toddler is screaming for boobie! I can't/won't have them on at the same time, so DD has to wait. She 's only feeding 2x a day, but occasionally DS needs to feed when she really needs it to go to sleep. Needless to say, they are my most stressful times.
I don't want to scare you off tandem feeding, because I wouldn't change a thing!
