Terrified of 2 under 2
as per title. i am pregnant with my second, currently at 9 weeks, so super early.
we’re in SUCH a good place with my first, who is turning 10 months in a few days. She sleeps well, eats well, started biting a little bit, but she’s generally pretty gentle with the nipples.
however. I nurse her to sleep almost eeeeevery time. With some exceptions when she falls asleep in the stroller, but usually it’s the boob. The boob association is so strong, she rarely wakes up at night, just squirms, turns to me, suckles a little bit and falls right back asleep.
I love the rythm we have. I always thought I would just continue nursing until we will be able to talk about it, read books, etc. Now with this new pregnancy I’m afraid I won’t be able to have this gentle weaning.
I’m starting to FEEL pregnant now, too. Getting nauseous, feeling tired, etc. Nursing, again, is helping here - we just had a small trip and after that just hung out in bed together alot playing, napping and just rotting in bed happily.
i’m sure there has been more topics like this before. Any references would be appreciated. But I would mostly love to hear real life stories of how you handled a situation like this. Tandem nursing? But how to handle nights with a newborn and a toddler boobie monster?
I can’t even fathom..
