Yes!  your body will carry on making milk while you're pregnant, so you'll be able to breastfeed. whats more, its totally safe to do so. Some women however notice a reduction in their milk supply whilst pregnant due to the hormonal changes that occur. . You may feel some uterine cramps when feeding which is just the oxytocin kicking in thats released when you breastfeed. They shouldnt be strong enough to send you into labour or cause a miscarriage however. If you are a really high risk for miscarriage or preterm labour, you might want to discuss this with your midwife or doctor. When your baby is born, your milk will change to suit your newborn. You may even find at this point that your toddler doesn't want to feed as much as they previously did. Many women go on to feed both a baby and a toddler in tandem, its totally your call! Some toddlers will wean themselves due to the change in milk consistency. Any tandem feeders?! . . . . . . . #breastfeeding #tandembreastfeeding #toddler #newbaby #newborn #normalisebreastfeeding #midwifemarley #babyprep #pregnancylife #milkymama #midwife #studentmidwife
