Well done JF. What an awesome Mummy you are. I didn't have that problem, I night weaned DD earlier, I think maybe around 14 months I started trying to stretch her out overnight. Then when I was pregnant she gradually cut her feeds down anyway to once or twice a day due to the lack of milk. There came a point when I had to decide if I should wean her or not because like you said I didn't want to do it when DD2 came along and have her associate it with that. I chose not to wean her. Really, I couldn't be botheredI was pregnant and it was easier to get her to sleep at night with a BF. I also wanted to make it to 2 yrs and she was 2 just after DD2 was born.
Anyway, if you want to keep feeding I can tell you that it works out just fine! I think what you're doing now is really important. If you've got her down to one feed a day before DD2 arrives then it will hopefully be easy to keep her at that afterwards and then it's no real drama. One extra feed a day is not a big deal for me.
I actually found it so sweet that DD1 was still feeding. She seemed to actually like to share it with DD2 and wasn't jealous at all, I actually think it helped. Maybe she could see how just becasue DD2 was here didn't mean anything changed for her. I also liked having that time with her, forced us to make sure we got some one-on-one time and also helped remind me of how she really was still a baby herself
Well done to you and your DD, you're doing great!! xx
