My milk supply has already dropped due to the PG, so DD has been a bit frustrated and asking more often again. Atm we're just hanging in there and seeing what happens... She's getting more teeth too so had another period of worse latch but it is getting better now. In general I'm still really enjoying feeding her though. It's out special cuddle time in otherwise very busy days :)

Glad you're still enjoying it Vicku.
We are still doing morning and BT feeds. Not planning on weaning before DS2 arrives in <7wks so I guess I shall be going tandem!

Glad to hear it's working out for the most part. K's mom: too bad he knows better. ;)

Vicku: hope the latch doesn't stay painful and your LO gets through the low supply period if you want her to.

We are also going tandem and will see how it works out. Ali, do you have any ideas when you would want to wean DS or are you planning on self-weaning him?

I will let him self-wean hopefully. Right now I am thinking that if he is still feeding at 2yo I will probably try to wean him, softly, softly though. What about you?

Almost the same here. He will definitely make it to 2yo unless he decides once the baby is there that bf is not for him anymore, but very unlikely. So once everybody got a bit adjusted I think I will try to wean him, first softly and if I get really annoyed with a bit more pushing. Not sure if soft weaning will go anywhere, he loves it so much. ;D
