28. Can You Breastfeed While Pregnant? Common Myths & Realities


Listen Later

Can you continue breastfeeding while pregnant? Will it affect your milk supply? Could it cause preterm labor? 🤔 These are just a few of the common questions moms ask when they find out they’re expecting again. In today’s episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with breastfeeding while pregnant, answering your top questions, and breaking down what you need to consider before deciding whether to wean or tandem breastfeed.


Here's a sneak peek:

[1:13] I share how I breastfeed while pregnant 

[3:14] Wanting to get pregnant while breastfeeding

[6:39] Nipple pain and milk composition

[8:47] Tandem breastfeeding

[10:25] Things to keep in mind


Breastfeeding while pregnant is a personal decision, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Whether you choose to wean before birth or tandem nurse, trust your instincts and do what feels best for your body and your baby. 💛

If you’re struggling with making this decision, know that you’re not alone! I’ll keep you posted on my own journey—so stay tuned for an upcoming episode on tandem nursing (if I decide to continue!) or weaning tips (if I don’t).
