Hi mummies. Im 28 wks along with #2 and my boobs have started leaking. I stopped bfing my currently 10month old #1 in july bcos my supply dried up. Since i plan to tandem feed, is it okay if i let my #1 latch on now that the boobs are leaking?

Preferably not. 1) If u are tandem breastfeeding simultaneously, u should give your nv first so that your body knows what your nb need. However this action, may induce jealously and hatred from the older baby to the younger one. The longer your older child goes without the breast but with your undivided love and attention, the better he/she will adjust to the appearance of the baby, weaning closer to delivery may trigger insecurity, jealousy and desire to return to breast 2) Breastfeeding actually thins the uterus lining which is not really good for pregnancy
