There seems to be a few ladies who are feeding 2 different aged babies. Don't our bodies produce the milk according to what the baby needs? The milk changes as the baby grows doesn't it? So, is it okay for both babies to be feeding on 'one recipe' ??

I found this and thought it might answer part of your question: If you are well-nourished you should have no difficulty providing for both your nursing child and your unborn baby, especially if your older child is more than one year old. It will be important for you to gain weight within the normal parameters and eat nutritious foods as well as get adequate rest, just as you would with any other pregnancy. It may be that you will need to consume extra calories if you decide to continue b___stfeeding during your pregnancy and taking extra vitamin supplements may also be a good idea. Although uterine contractions are sometimes experienced with b___stfeeding, they are a normal part of every pregnancy and no different than those experienced by many mothers during s_xual relations that take place during a pregnancy. There is no reason to fear that the colostrum that your newborn will need will be "use up" by your older child. No matter how much your child nurses, there will still be plenty of colostrum for your new baby.
