breastfeeding moms with older children…. a couple questions for you?
Hi ladies. I just had a couple questions…
I breastfed our daughter for 19 months. She self-weaned.
After you have one child weaned from breastfeeding, and then go on to have another child who is breastfed, did your first child want to start doing it again? Was that child jealous? How did they feel about it, and how did you explain to them? For example, our daughter weaned at 19 months. She is 2 years old now, and was in the room with me the other day while I was getting dressed. She mentioned “I want to nursie” (which is what she called it) and pointed to my boobs. I’m wondering that if we were to have another child soon, if she would be upset that she couldn’t breastfeed, while the baby would.
Just your thoughts or opinions please 
Not that we are going to have another child soon She will probably outgrow it by the time we do. But I was just curious.
we’ll definitely get in the big sister/mommy cuddle time
My oldest was very curious and wanted to nurse, I let him try (he was 18 months older then his brother) but he was of course unable to as he forget by then how to nurse, and he wants to know when I will use my breasts again (because otherwise they’re useless you know) – and I respond “When there is another baby that needs to be fed.”
She might or might not remember by the time you have another, but she will want that closeness of touching you and be jealous of that – so make a point of spending one on one time with her at least once a week without the baby, it really does help.
