Im still nursing my 18 month old and just found out im expecting again. Lately my little one is fussing at the breast and i wonder if the hormones changed my supply or the taste. Did anyone notice their toddler reacting after they got pregnant?
It can affect supply and the milk taste. Some doctors are also cautious about nursing during pregnancy depending on your situation. I'd really suggest discussing your specific case with your gynac so you both stay safe.
Pregnancy hormones often reduce milk supply and change the taste, so a nursing toddler may fuss or lose interest. It's common. If your toddler is eating solids well, it's usually fine, but mention it to your doctor for reassurance.
My MIL kept saying nursing while pregnant tires the body, and honestly the hormones did change things, my supply went down. Toddler adjusted slowly. Just eat and rest well, and ask your doctor if you want to continue nursing.
Yes, it can. When I got pregnant while still nursing my elder one, my milk supply dropped and the taste changed a bit, so my toddler nursed less on his own. It's the hormones, totally normal. Many babies self-wean around then.
Don't worry too much, this is a known thing. The hormones can lower the milk and the little one might cut down nursing themselves. As long as the toddler is eating other food well, it's okay. Your doctor can guide further.
