Breastfeeding while pregnant.

1st born turning 3 in 1.5mths. Still breastfeeding till date. Recently I feel some letdown but I realise nothing comes out when I squeeze. I tried massaging but still nothing. I'm also pregnant so I'm confused if it's a good thing as it may lead to him weaning. But I also have heartache thinking that there's actually milk because after almost 3 yrs I think I know what letdown feels like. But literally nothing is coming out for the past few days. Should I get help? Or should I just let it be and take this opportunity to wean him? Currently he's still latching to sleep although I know for sure he's not getting any milk.

It’s normal because your breastmilk is turning into colostrum to prepare for your nb. Taking this time to wean him is a good idea, if he is still latching without milk, you’re a walking pacifier! 😂 Since he’s turning 3 already, can try explaining to him that he had his turn and mama is preparing the milk for his younger sibling now. 😊

Yeah, especially when he will feel more attachment to you as he can sense the baby inside you. Will definitely need some time but I’m sure he’ll get there 😊!
