Can you breastfeed while pregnant?

lactation-tandem

Many women ask us if they can get pregnant while breastfeeding and we answer SI. If you can get pregnant during this period, that is why you have to take some precautions since it is not at all advisable for this to happen.

Just as we defended the quarantine And we have said that it is important to let that time pass after delivery so that the body is restored to its normality after many changes that were occurring during the previous 9 months. Specialists advise that couples take care of themselves during quarantine and also recommend that they do so until weaning. This recommendation is made because it is harmful to the body and because it is not yet adapted to leaving a pregnancy that will have to adapt again to another. There are no risks of abortion or health problems for the mother or baby if the mother becomes pregnant during the quarantine or breastfeeding period.

What can happen is that pregnancy hormones can cause a decrease in milk production or change its taste since from 5 months of pregnancy the milk begins to be produced. colostrum. For these reasons, the breastfed baby may lose interest in nursing and abrupt withdrawal from breastfeeding, causing a hormonal disorder in the woman.

If you get pregnant while breastfeeding your other child, the ideal is to start giving other types of foods, such as formula milk or their first meals (depending on the age of the first baby) and after the second baby is born, it can be done the tandem lactation (simultaneous breastfeeding of two or more children). Consult your specific case with your obstetrician.

    Hello, I am concerned about the issue, although my baby is old, he is a year old, he is still breastfeeding and he is probably pregnant again. I'm scared and alone, in a city where I don't know anyone and starting to work. What do you advise me?

    Hello Rosana, do not be worried, I have read in many forums, that you can breastfeed while you are pregnant, except when contraindicated by the obstetrician, due to some special circumstance during your pregnancy.
    I also know that from the 5th month of pregnancy, your body would begin to manufacture colostrum, which is the food that will serve your new child and I think that only at that time it would be necessary to evaluate how to continue.
    Your one-year-old baby is not big, to be breastfed, according to WHO up to two years, it is very good to breastfeed them.
    I hope it has helped you.
