It may be reassuring to know that in a normal pregnancy there is no evidence that continuing to breastfeed will deprive your unborn child of necessary nutrients. Another typical concern is that hormone oxytocin, released by nipple stimulation while breastfeeding, could trigger early labor.
Herein, when should I stop breastfeeding during pregnancy?
By about five months of your pregnancy, your breasts start to produce colostrum in readiness for your baby’s birth. Your toddler may not like the change in taste and drop in quantity of milk, so you may find he weans himself off breastfeeding around this time. If he doesn’t self-wean, it’s fine for him to keep feeding.
Also, does breastfeeding during pregnancy cause miscarriage? The miscarriage rate was higher when mothers exclusively breast-fed during pregnancy (35%) than when they practiced either complementary BDP (i.e., the child also consumed other food) or did not breast-feed (14% and 15%, respectively).
