Barbara,
I recall a breastfeeding hotline call where a mother was nursing all five of
her children and wanted assistance with weaning. She was exhausted. Remember
the old supply and demand, the more you nurse, the more milk you will make.
Tell mom to nurse newborn first, and keep close eye on wet and poopy diapers
to ensure baby is getting enough. Her concern will not be with milk supply,
it will be with the time constraints of nursing 3 children. As for the
doctor's concern with premature labor; this mother has nursed while pregnant
before without a problem, why should it be one now.
Best wishes to this mom!
