Hi Mamas!
I have a 2 1/2 year old boy and I am expecting a new baby in 4 weeks. I tried several times to wean the older one before I got pregnant, and we were almost there, but then my sickness kicked in and I had absolutely no energy left to struggle with him. So I just continued breastfeeding him. Only at night and in the mornings, but he still insists on it. And now that he is talking, it's really hard to resist. He comes at night and asks for "Mama, Mimi please", and sometimes he says things like: "Nice mimi. It's yummi, I like it".
I always had lots and lots of milk, so I do not see any problems from that point of few, and I also discussed with my midwives who said it would be ok to bf them both. But how about jealousy? I am afraid he will totally flip if he sees the new baby nursing. And then of course he will have to wait and the baby will be first.
Did anyone do this with 2 kids and how did you manage this?
I am grateful for all hints.
Bianca
