I know a lady who is tandem b/f. Her son is 2 and she had another boy a week ago. She continued to nurse the older boy during her pregnancy, and even got him to latch on during labour to help the contractions along.
Now she is feeding both...but my question is this:
When she had her baby, even though she never stopped b/f does colostrum still come in after the birth, or does the fact that she already had milk prevent this. Also as she is feeding both the new baby and the older son the baby sometimes gets the hindmilk only, do babies need foremilk, or will any breast milk do?
I'm just curious how this works!
