My DD1 is 23 months old and recently has starting showing a lot of interest in my bf DD2 (almost 5 months). DD1 weaned herself at 14 months, probably because I was pregnant and the milk didn't taste great and there wasn't much supply (I was about 5 months pregnant then). At the time I was quite upset and it is still a regret for me that she stopped bf then - I sort of feel I forced it on her by being pregnant.
When DD2 was born I was prepared for DD1 to ask to bf but she didn't. Now, months later, she seems to want it. Whenever I cuddle her or sit and hold her she puts her hands down/up my shirt. She also says "no" at any suggestion that the milk is for DD2 only. She hasn't tried to suckle, but then also hasn't been given an opportunity to.
I'm really torn. Firstly, DD1 has a LOT of very sharp teeth these days and hasn't fed in a long time. I do not want to be bitten, especially since I feed DD2 around every two hours. Secondly, a part of me feels that she's moved on from bf and perhaps we should leave it at that. But I also feel that if she actually asked to feed I couldn't tell her "no".
Has anyone any experience of feeding a child after a break like this? And is my concern re teeth and her lack of recent bf experience a real one?
Or does anyone just have some words of advice? I just don't really know what to do and what I would like to do about it, if anything.
