hi,i presume you are pregnant again,as to your question."NO"it is not a good idea to breast feed if you are pregnant.the baby that is breastfeeding is taking nutrients away from the baby you have concieved now.you should discuss this with your doctor though.i am not a doctor,but from my veiw point breastfeeding while you are preganant is not a good idea.take care of your self,raven33.

Yes, you can still breastfeed.  You have to have a really nutritious diet, and take in enough liquids.  Your milk supply may be somewhat diminished.

You know, that is a really good question. I'm glad to see you found your answer from the doctor but I was thinking that it sure must be confusing to your body. Am I pregnant or did I have a baby? Which way do I go?
Also, not sure about others but breastfeeding always triggered severe cramps for me. Just the bodies natural way of trying to return to normal but I would have worried about these cramps if I had been pregnant again.
Like I said, a really good question.
Congrats on both babies!
