I didn't have a problem. I got pregnant while nursing the second time we tried. Giving up nursing would have made my first child so upset. I'm glad I did it the way I did. We nursed all the way through the pregnancy. They both nursed together a bit too, but the milk changes, and the older one lost interest quickly. It was all a very natural process.

I am also trying to conceive while nursing my 14 month old. It is hard because I have not had a period for two years. We have just started and I am anxious not knowing if I am even ovulating. I am just going to let nature take its course.

You don't have to have a period to ovulate. Try using an ovulation test kit. Good Luck

Wow, we have the same circ_mstance as Peggy. Our son is 13 mo. and I am still Breastfeeding Full time. I also never had the return of my period. We wanted to be pregnant again and there were a few signs like mini headaches, queezy tummy, and TIRED. So the same symptoms as with my son. I plan to b___stfeed as long as possible with this pregnancy and see how it goes.

Betty,
You shouldn't even be having s_x till about six weeks postpartum because of increased risks of infection.And even then wait till your pract_tioner gives you the ok

If I want to continue BF my daughter does any one have a suggestion how many BF per day I should reduce to in order to concieve another baby

From what I understand there is not one definate answer. Every woman is different. BF can definatly hinder your chances of conceiving. BF causes a rise in particular hormones which suppress ovulation. Even if you get a menses it doesn't guarantee that you will ovulate the following cycle. How many times per day are you BF? You can start by cutting back your feedings....if you have a good 8 hour stent of no BF that may allow your system time to ovulate

I'm BF my 7month old daughter but she goes 9 hours at night without it since 3 months old and has been on daytime supplements and solids since 4.5 months and have been going 5 hours inbetween feedings since 5.5 months. I have a susp__sion I'm pregnant could that be possible? I have no menses.
