Breastfeeding During Pregnancy While
Mother is pregnant, the body still produces milk so that Mother can choose to continue breastfeeding. It's just that there are changes that may be felt in breastfeeding during pregnancy.

The volume of breast milk during pregnancy may slightly decrease. In addition, breast and nipple also become slightly painful during pregnancy. And if Mother experiences nausea during pregnancy, the feeling of nausea can be felt more.

If Little Breastfeeding can communicate, may say that breastfeeding changes. This is because the milk will turn into colostrum as it approaches labor, to be consumed by newborns. Breastfeeding changes can usually begin to be felt at 5 months of pregnancy.
Some children will stop breastfeeding by themselves. However, the Mother needs to pay special attention if the age of Little Sucking is still under one year, so that her weight is not less than normal. Mother also needs to pay attention to whether Little is ready for weaning, how old she is, how her character and diet, and her response, especially psychologically.
Breastfeeding during pregnancy requires extra energy that can make Mother get tired faster. In order for the condition of the Mother to remain fit, the baby in the womb and the Little also get enough nutrition, Mother needs to meet the needs of nutrients, including vitamin D and folic acid supplements. In addition, adequate consumption of vegetables, fruits, fats, and proteins, as well as mineral water. Eat immediately when you're hungry and drink while thirsty, and eat healthy snacks.
Prenatal Conditions to Look Out for
One of the things that is often feared in breastfeeding when pregnant, ie whether the stimulation of the nipple can cause premature labor. Nipple stimulation does trigger the production of the hormone oxytocin that helps the expenditure of breast milk and contractions when going into labor. But Mother should not worry, because the levels of oxytocin produced during breastfeeding are not enough to trigger labor contractions.
However, not all Mothers are advised to breastfeed during pregnancy. You should consult a doctor first, if the pregnant mother has certain conditions, such as:
- High risk of premature labor.
- Have had a miscarriage.

After baby born and her sister still suckle, Mother can still kok nursing both. However, whatever the Mother decides, it should be done through personal Mother's consideration and doctor's advice.
