I'm going to be tandem nursing in just a few weeks and I'm a bit nervous about it, too. Will my daughter start nursing again all the time? She's getting close to 3 years old and only nurses before naps and bedtime and I've really liked that routine (especially with the nipple pain -- more would be really hard to take). I don't know how I'll handle a newborn if she starts nursing again all the time. I'm lucky to live in a really supportive community. Nursing toddlers are quite common here. My friends who haven't nursed their toddlers usually wish they could have. Tandem nursing, though, is more unusual. Nobody has said anything negative but there aren't many other moms I can share experiences with. I'll be stopping by your blog to see how you're doing. It looks like we're due around the same time.

Plus, your comments are practically BOOKS! j/k The thing I have always admired about you and Courtney is how fun you make mothering look. We all know it is hard work, but I know your kids feel loved and accepted because they know you ENJOY them. Sometimes I find myself thinking about ya'll at moments during the day when I am trying to pull myself out of a crummy mood. It's inspiring!

So glad to connect with someone that is in exactly the same boat as me. I am just finishing out my first trimester and hoping that the sensitivity will subside a little. I hope you come back and leave your blog URL so I can learn more about what to expect in the next stage! Hi Henry’s mum! So glad to connect with someone that is in exactly the same boat as me.

I agree that it's counter-productive for moms to criticize each others decisions. No one thrives in a critical environment, and we NEED to learn from one another in order to grow. Good point!

Although I am really happy with my nursing experience so far, I am also looking forward to doing some things differently with #2 than I did with Katie. I think we all learn a lot about ourselves the first time around. Maybe that's why I feel such strong desire for #2 . . . DO OVER! Thank you!

One of my best friends is breastfeeding her toddler and she gets tons of grief because he's a boy. I think I've had an easier time with people because I have a daughter, so I really respect moms who are courageous enough to do what they feel is best for their sons despite what general society might think.

I admit I am a little nervous about tandem nursing, so it's good to hear that you had a good experience. I love that you said physically AND emotionally, because my apprehension are more in the latter category. Oh that is so encouraging, Alison!
