Breastfeeding during pregnancy

[WomanFormerlyKnownAsKarateGirl]

I'm 10 weeks pregnant, and feed my 28 month old once a day before bed. Having never had pain before (even when she was newborn) it's like razor blades are slicing my nipples every time she latches. I know the pain may or may not pass and I'm just gritting my teeth through it at the moment.

I still have milk, and my supply doesn't seem to be dipping particularly, so not sure whether I'll dry up during the pregnancy (I've always had something of an oversupply).

I had thought that if she was still feeding at 3, I'd wean her but now I'm due pretty much around her birthday and don't think it's necessarily a good idea to wean at the same time as bringing an infant into the home. I've never planned to tandem feed, although I'm not totally averse to the prospect.

I guess my question is, what would you do?!

My nipples were really sore during early pregnancy when I would feed my 2+ year old. At around 10 weeks I just stopped producing milk, had literally “dried up” which was weird and I was kinda gutted cause I was scared ds and I would lose our special bond. Anyway we managed to stop. He sometimes still asks for boobies (I’m 20 weeks now) but he knows they are not for him anymore. Do what is best for you

Like @Queenbee95 I found feeding quiet painful for a bit in the 1st trimester, but then my milk fully dried up around 13 weeks. By 20 weeks I'd started producing colostrum again! My daughter has now taken to grabbing my boobs which is irritating and will stick her hands down my top to self sooth but the transition away from a boob to sleep wasn't too bad. I'm 22 weeks now and she has just turned two and told me my right boob is for her and the other is for the baby 🤣

If you are planning to wean her then I'd do it at least 3 months before the baby comes and avoid all talk of it being because of pregnancy / baby etc. so she doesn't associate it with her new sibling.
I think you've done well to bf until now, it's causing you pain and you should stop if that's what you want. Work out another, lovely bonding bedtime experience in plenty of time before baby comes.

Im 19 weeks pregnant and was breastfeeding my dd once a day at night time. It became so painful I gradually cut down over a month, from both breasts to one, then shorter feeds. Stopped the week before she was 2. It was just too painful, I used to really dread bedtime. She's absolutely fine with no breast milk, cried about 20 min for 2 nights when I fiinally stopped. Now I am starting to see positives again to breastfeeding, how lovely it was and I'm looking forward to trying again.
