Tandem nursing question

Posted by CathyCDK (My Page) on Fri, Jan 4, 02 at 12:54
Hello,
I had my second girl on Dec. 21st, and I am still nursing my toddler, who will be 21 months on Jan. 10th. Nursing the two of them has been going well so far. My question is: Since my milk came in after the birth of my daughter, my older daughter's poops have reverted back to runny breastmilk poop. She hasn't had a solid bowel movement since the baby was born. This is causing many accidents and quite a bit of extra laundry. Is there anything I can do to help make her poops normal again? She still eats good, including lots of cereal, oatmeal, cream of wheat, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, bananas, applesauce, apple juice, as well as lots of snacks and whatever we eat at meal time.
Thanks for your advice.

Can you start reducing the amount you nurse the 21 month old? Sounds like she's getting the "good stuff" that comes in the beginning with a new baby.
Since she is table fed she is getting all the vitamins she needs it may be too much for her. When do you plan to whean?
I would talk to her Ped. |

I haven't tandem nursed...and, my almost 20 month old just weaned about 3 weeks ago...
But, my thought is much like the above poster said...she's getting the "power" stuff for the new baby too...It should, I assume all balance out soon enough...I'm thinking that your body is still working on who's nursing when type thing...My guy was only nursing 1 maybe 2x in a 24 hour period the last few months prior to his stopping.
Are you basically nursing new baby before big sister?
Maybe big sister is actually get the "hind" milk from baby?
I don't have a clue...just trying to think a few things through...
Good luck...I hate "blow outs" too!
