Ive been in hospital for two nights and am 17 1/2 weeks pregnant. My DD is 23 months old and although I don't really have much milk now due to my pregnancy, she has continued to nurse, although down to a quick feed morning, maybe a few quick feeds in the day if we're at home or she's tired and she feeds to sleep each night. She seems happy to dry nurse.
DH hasn't really been able to bring DD in due to other children and visiting hours. They did say they may be able to arrange for DD to visit out of visiting hours, but until tomorrow when my Mum gets here that can't happen due to my other DC. I had expected to go home today, but it looks like I'll be in for another couple of days at least. She had a couple of very quick feeds last night, but that was it.
I'm quite worried that she'll just wean while I'm in here and I feel that that is something that will be forced, not her choice. Is it likely she'd just continue to nurse after 4-5 days apart? I'm assuming what milk supply I have (just drops) will still be there after that time, pumping seems a bit pointless.
Any advice or experiences appreciated. Thank you.
