Being pregnant doesn't expect you have to stop breastfeeding your child. Long ago doctors believed it actually took nutrients away from the baby inside you, however that is not the case. Even today we have men and women, that suppose this and they will argue with you the entire time. Only you can decide if you have to stop breastfeeding your toddler or not. Don't let someone else make that decision for you.

Reasons to Finish Breastfeeding

A few reasons you might want to stop breastfeeding may be if you are feeling continuously drained of energy. Or maybe your Baby has started to bite. Occasionally your milk will even dry up, and this is your body's way of showing you, that it has had enough and to take a break. Mastitis could play a big role in having you stop immediately as well. Mastitis is an infection in the breast, when it isn't expressed enough and gets engorged.

Stopping or Weaning

If you do plan on stopping because you are with baby, make sure it is for the right reasons. If your Kid has reached a certain age, it might be best. But never just yank it away from them. Your child could wonder why it is being taken away. Wonder if they had done something or become discouraged about the new baby appearance. Some children decide to wean themselves, which is a big help to you, and you won't feel so guilty about it. You can choose to do it cold turkey, or slowly wean him/her off. Cold turkey can have some bad results. Try restricting his/her feeding times to certain hours, and slowly as period passes take away extra. Your child will quickly stop on his/her own and it won't be a traumatic experience.

Persistent to breastfeed

If you do plan on continuing to breastfeed while you are with Baby, talk with your doctor about it. Not all the time will the doctor agree with your decision. Sometimes he/she may see something in your health that you don't. Listen carefully and discover out if it is a health reason, or simply his/her own belief. If it is the doctors belief, you can usually look out one that agrees with you. Being pregnant is hard enough at times, knowing you keep someone in your point will only reduce the stress. Don't be confused if your family and friends want to say something about it, and they will probably give you all friendly of suggestion on how to stop and what they've comprehend. Politely explain to them it is your decision, and you'll do what you think is best for your children. Try finding a support group in your area, so you keep some person to vent to or talk about these issues. Check out if there is a La Leche Society close you or online that you can join.
