Breastfeeding while pregnant

[Barb Glare]

hi,
My sons a#were born on the same day - 2 years apart. They tandem fed for 2 and a half years. They share a particularly strong bond - even for brothers - even as teenagers. No science - but it was surely the tandem feeding

Thanks ladies for the replys.

I love the sound of the holding hands Feebs and had a giggle at the stealing the nipple It really does sound like a beautiful opportunity to do with your LOs and even to be put in the position to be able to do so.

OP I too have been thinking about positioning once i get a big belly. Like you i suppose we'll just have to have a play around and see what works best. I currently feed DS lying down for his am feed and i love that. I wonder if lying would make it any easier??

I'm thinking if we get that far there will obviously be some adjusting to do but once all is settled could be great for both. Knowing my LO now i think being able to continue will be a good thing for him if he wants to and a great way for him to bond being as young as he will be.

Thanks also Barb, i got my book in the mail today and have had a fair bit of a read already.

I'm kind of excited to do this now. Just have to wait 8 months

There were a few issues here in the very early weeks when DS1 (who was 20 months) would give DS2 a bit of a tap on the head at feed times. But it was really not much of an issue and I can't say for sure whether it was because I was b'feeding him. I actually haven't fed the boys together, I feed them seperately and so DS1 came to know when it was his 'turn' and when it was his brother's turn. I couldn't physically work out how to feed a 20 mo and a 10 lb newborn at the same time! LOL.
