Pam, This is Shirley M. in Phoenix, and I tanden nursed my second and third
child together for 3 years. #2 child was 18 mos. when her brother was born.
He weighted 9lb. 10 oz. Very healthy. I nursed both of them until a week
before baby #4, who weight 7 lb., 8 oz. My hemoglobin was 14-15 with the last
two deliveries, so good nutrition as well as zinc and other vitamin
supplements made me feel comfortable nursing through. I don't see birth
defects being a concern, it's not logical. You need to watch for premature
contractions, or premature labor, and eat well. Mothers have done this for
centuries. I believe the body cares for the newborn baby first, and then
provides for the nurslings who are usually also eating table foods. Hope you
lie down a lot. I found it was sooo important to rest with the kids.
