breastmilj

So im pregnant with my 2nd baby and my first will be 16 months when i have this baby. I never got to breastfeed my first son so I really wanted to try and give my first kid some breastmilk so he could get some of the natural antibodies. Is this crazy of me? Hes only going to be 16 months. By then

It's not weird because we all want our babies to be as healthy as as possible but talk to your pediatrician and OB because I think the most benefits come in the first 6 months when their immune systems are still developing but every little bit may help...

That's not crazy at all, it's natural that you want your 1st child to have the benefits of breastmilk! I say if he's willing to take milk from your breast go for it!! Good luck :)
