I'm 18 weeks and I'm bf my 16 month old baby boy still, just make sure you take prenatals, get plenty rest, and get those good calories in. Sometimes I'm not so hungry and I notice I get dizzy or weak but that's because we need to eat since both our babies are taking our nutrients. So just eat well :)

Actually its been proven that full benefits of breastfeeding occur at the 2 year Mark. My mil breastfed both my husband and my sil for 16 months and was she was pregnant they are only a little over 2 years apart. As long your taking proper vitamins and eating right and drinking plenty you'll be fine. Best person to talk about with though would be your doctor :-) but done she is a about year you could start weaning her and catch a break before next baby :-)

My cousin had to stop because her and the new baby were not getting enough nutrients but I would talk with you doctor first.

**I'm pretty sure breastfeeding while pregnant is dangerous to the fetus!!!

I think you do loose all the colostrum your new baby is suppose to be getting when you give birth.
