Congrats

I did ask my OB, though, about DD2 and her still breastfeeding. It was at
the very end, just as she was walking out the door.
I simply said that DD2 is still nursing, although not very much, and if this
is ok or not. Dr said she recommends DD2 stops nursing completely.


My doctor said it was perfectly fine and to do whatever I wanted. My
first pregnancy was full term without complications. I nursed my first
son the first 5mos I was pregnant with my second. This did not cause
any problems for me. He was nursing multiple times a day too.

She asks for boobies and gets
them, but I no longer ask her if she wants, so I find that I offer more than
she asks. Should I just let her wean completely like that? Or should I
keep going and offering? She never turns down an offer


I was ready for my son to wean so I never offered, lol. If you want her
to wean this will be a relatively easy time to do so. Just don't ever
offer. As your pregnancy progresses there is a high probability that
your milk supply will dwindle markedly and she'll probably self wean
then if you make an effort to provide her with milk or snacks during the
time she usually asks to nurse. I found it miserable to nurse while
pregnant but some people want to keep nursing soooo.....then keep
offering
