I'm breast feeding my 8 month old but i'v
only just started getting cracked an sore
nipples he's had teeth since he was 3
months old so I dont think that is the
problem would it have somthing to do with
me being pregnant or is there any other
reason

Actually it's perfectly healthy and
encouraged to continue nursing your
firstborn while pregnant. It can make
the adjustment to a sibling much easier if
they don't feel that they're being
punished (taking away the comfort they
know at the breast) because of them.
I tried to copy a link to you but it
didn't work so here. This is from lll's
website.
Finding out you are pregnant does not mean
you must stop breastfeeding your toddler.
Many mothers choose to continue
breastfeeding throughout pregnancy, while
others decide to wean. The following
information may help you decide what is
best for you and your family.
Relatives, friends and health care
professionals may express doubts about
breastfeeding while pregnant. Their
concerns might include that you would be
risking the health of your unborn baby.
It may be reassuring to know that in a
normal pregnancy there is no evidence that
continuing to breastfeed will deprive your
unborn child of necessary nutrients. In
addition, according to la leche league's
breastfeeding answer book, 3rd edition
2003, page 407. "although uterine
contractions are experienced during
breastfeeding, they are a normal part of
pregnancy. .. Uterine contractions also
occur during sexual activity, which most
couples continue during pregnancy." also,
according to the bab, page 408,
"currently, no specific medical guidelines
exist that define in which situations it
may be risky to continue breastfeeding
during pregnancy, and prenatal caregivers
vary widely in their recommendations." the
materials listed in the "additional
resources" section of this faq will help
you address the fears others may
express.
Needing extra rest is normal in pregnancy.
Breastfeeding during your pregnancy may
help you get extra rest if you breastfeed
your toddler while lying down. Completely
childproofing one room with a mattress or
pallet on the floor would allow you to
continue to rest if your toddler goes off
to play. Who knows, you both may drift
off for a little nap!
Some mothers develop tender nipples during
pregnancy. Careful attention to your
child's position can help. Breathing
techniques from childbirth classes can
help you cope with the increased
sensitivity. The breathing techniques may
also help if you become restless while
your toddler breastfeeds. If your child
is old enough, you can ask him or her to
nurse more gently or for shorter periods
of time. This will help with both your
tender nipples and your feelings of
restlessness.
Women who breastfeed while pregnant often
find their milk supply decreases around
the fourth or fifth month. If your
breastfeeding baby is less than a year
old, watch his weight gain to be sure he
is getting enough to eat. It's also not
uncommon for the flavor of your milk to
change. These changes may prompt some
older toddlers to nurse less often or to
wean entirely.

Im breastfeeding my son right now and i'd
hate to have to stop because of another
pregnancy. You should ask a doctor if you
need to or not.
