Hello MN
I'm currently 20 weeks pg and have been continuing to feed my 20mo DS. I'd actually been considering weaning because the idea of tandem feeding is a bit overwhelming, especially if DC2 is as greedy as DS was/is! But that's a different thread I suppose.
Anyway, earlier on this evening I went to hand express a bit of milk when I realised that only a tiny drop would come out of either side. I haven't tried to express in ages so didn't realise that my supply must have decreased.
It's deffo not a supply/demand issue as DS still feeds at least 5 times a day and in the morning we snooze and he latches on for at least 30 mins, no change there for the last 5 months or so. So I'm assuming it's pregnancy hormone related and that he's just feeding for comfort.
I'm guessing this is normal but I wondered if anyone else had similar? And did you child self-wean once your milk dried up? My boobs have been pretty tender whilst feeding him since I've been pg but the soreness had got better in the last week or so.
Thanks in advance for any advice/shared experiences. I'm not feeling worried or anything, more surprised that my greedy boy has been feeding away and hasn't complained that there's nothing there!
