Question
I am currently breastfeeding a 4 1/2 month old baby full time.  I just found out that I am one month pregnant. I can not find any information on breastfeeding a baby this young while being pregnant. I can only find information on tandem nursing with toddlers. Is my 4 1/2 month old going to get the right milk he needs? Any other advice on this would be helpful.

Answer
yes, your baby will get the amount of milk he needs. As you get closer to delivery, the milk taste may change a little in preparation for the new baby, but there will always be enough. You do not need to stop nursing  :)

Good luck! I had irish twins too!
