Ok strange question I know!

But I am breastfeeding her two month old brother which she has been quite intrigued by, she has asked for 'mummy milk' a few times but I just gave her a taste on my finger.

However today she has been a bit out of sorts and while the baby was asleep she pretty much begged for me to let her try a breastfeed, so with much trepidation I did and..............

She loved it she hasn't had a breastfeed since she was 6 months old but latched on really gently (with no biting ) and my milk let down instantly so she got quite a bit, after she said 'mmmmmmm nice drink'

Soooooo if she wants to try it again would that be ok? Or is it too....well I want to say weird but that's not the right word iyswim? would it affect my milk supply for my baby? or do you think I should be trying to gently discouage her

Help so confused lol!

This is a thread from 15 years ago! The child in question is nearly an adult! Why would you resurrect such an old thread @NikoSatellite ?@NikoSatellite ?!

obviously it’s still relevant, people can add on to anything. It’s the internet 🤦🏽‍♀️
