Hello
I am 30 weeks pregnant with DD2 and fed DD1 until she was 18 months. She will be 23 months when DD2 is born and self weaned, although I was thrilled at this as I found early pg hard going.
I am now worrying a bit about what will happen when I BF DD2. DD1 points at my boobs and says "mummy - milk" and I have drilled it into her that it's milk for babies and she is a big girl with her beaker cup etc. (I realised tandem feeding wasn't for me so needed an excuse to stop - I would have been happy to feed for longer had I not been pg). She still has milk in a bottle pre nap BTW.
However, last week a friend of mine BF her daughter (aged 2) and DD1 went beserk, pulling at my top and saying "mummy - milk -(name)". I said friend's dd only has milk as she has allergies and DD has big girl cup etc but she was very upset. I am now worried that she will be jealous of the baby feeding as well as just her arrival.
Does anyone have any advice? I would be happy to let her have a try if that would put her off, but I don't want her to get the taste back and end up feeding the pair of them!
Many thanks.
