Love is endless!

You will always have enough love for all of your children. If you love cuddling one imagine cuddling two, twice as nice!I was breastfeeding my first baby when I fell pregnant with my second so yes it is possible.As your baby grows they will have different needs and attention as a new baby will have different needs and attention. I used to read my toddler stories when I was breastfeeding my baby so they didn't feel left out or spend quality time with them when the baby was sleeping.Good luck with your decision but I am sure whatever happens you will do the best that you can for your children because that is what good parents do!

A Song

Not an affirmation, but a song: Let the milk flow, Like a Mountain Stream, And let the milk go, Directly to Cream, And let my baby know, She knows what she needs, 'Cause she's my nursling. . . . Actually, any song a mother likes, a lullaby, a Beatles tune, Merengue, anything. I also sang a Spanish nursery rhyme, and I'm not even completely fluent :) Tess Continuous Support Doula

Strong Bond

I didn't breastfeed my other two children, but I am breastfeeding this baby. I love the trust and the strong bond we're building.
