My husband and I believed we couldn't have children biologically and worked with an agency to adopt. Shortly after we made a match, I found out I was pregnant! My ds is only 11 months and my dd is 3 weeks. I am breast feeding her. Now my ds tries to find a way to my breast. Our pediatrician think he craves the attention and is advising I also nurse him. I'm torn...he's at an age to start weaning him not to start nursing him. What do you think?
I would nurse him but then I was a Le Leche league counselor back in the day and I breast fed 7 kids until they self weaned. I dont see a problem with it, he will not like it, too much work, he just wants to see what the big deal is.
A Mom to nine sons and one daughter with six still at home!

I also have no experience with breastfeeding... But I do think if your pedi recommends it, there's probably a good reason. Sibling rivalry, natural curiousity, bonding with mom... Some really good things could come out of him trying it just a couple of times. GL!
i don't see a problem with it maybe only set it for once or twice a day mummy time and he prob its more about wanting to be close to you cuddled in
might want to get a nipple shield with him having teeth lol
i cant breast feed
How'd it work out? Its a great way to boost his immune system, bond, and helps keep your supply up. Most kids self wean around 2-5 so hes well within the age range
Granted !
