Hi,

DD is 9 months. I fell pg with her when I she was 3mnths old. I stopped bf because I have a history of miscarriages and didn't want to run the risk as someone told be bf in early pregnancy can cause problems.

Anyway. I am now leaking milk (had the same thig with DD) and am wondering if i could start bf her again?

Might that not confuse her? She might find it harder when the new baby comes, unless you want to tandem feed of course.

Have you tried just latching her on?

Well in that case I wouldn't see the problem, if she wants and you're able to. I know people who have fed right through pregnancy without problems. Try contacting your local LLL leader for advice- she could prob put you in touch with someone who had done this.

It will be up to her I suppose. She may have forgotten how to latch on and won't be interested. You could catch the milk in breast shells and give it to her in a cup if you don't want it to go to waste.
