From my personal experience:  I lost my first baby at 20 weeks.  Was BF my 
25 mo.  when I found out I was pregnant.  I had been on bedrest when 
pregnant with this toddler because I started vaginal bleeding @ 8 weeks. I 
was in the hospital and on an  IV alcohol drip @ 16 weeks for pre-term 
labor (prior to Trebutaline use and living out of the country) and 
continued bedrest until 38 weeks so I was encouraged to wean Amanda before 
I got to 20 weeks.  This happened with baby number 3 also. I did seem to 
go into pre-term labor with the last two at about 20-24 weeks but bedrest 
and hypnotism (I was not going to repeat the po alcohol and was at risk 
with the Trebutaline self-hypnosis was worth a try) I made it to 37+ to 38 
weeks. Both OB's felt that my continuing to BF and slowly wean would not 
cause a miscarriage.  To tell you the truth I believe they based there 
recommendations on anecdotal experiences and since it was what I wanted to 
hear I did not push for any peer reviewed research.
