Noticed the recent post on nursing during pregnancy. Most mothers will find that by about the 4th month the placenta is of large enough size to have caused a serious reduction to no supply (mainly colostrum). As a mother of ten , having nursed through several pregnancies, I have found that this is so . There is not a lot to do other than lots of cuddling and nursing for comfort. This is not to infer that the supply is going to increase before the pregnancy is completed. Or that it is necessary to wean. I also have spoken with women who swear they have a supply through out the time they are pregnant. I don't believe it. I think that they were well on there way to no or very little milk at the same markers, but refused to believe it because they occasionally saw some milk on the nipple or in the baby's mouth. Niles Newton did some research on this sometime ago in which I and my then twins participated. Having repeatedly become preganent while breastfeeding at 24-38 months. I have most times found that my children would continue to nurse for several months into the pregnancy but often would wean as the pregnancy continued. Some didn't! I also have found after miscaring several times that my children would go back to nursing more often again. Dee Keith IBCLC, LLLL
