btdt moms that nursed with another dc close in age.

How? HOW? H-O-W?!?

I remember my ds taking FOREVER to eat in the beginning. How do I nurse and run after a 15 month old? I asked my mom the same question...she said she didn't end up nursing the 2nd cause she knew it would have been to much.

What do u do? Tie em up?

i tried the first week it was almost impossible with ds. the 2nd week i pumped as much as i could but i honestly never had the time.. it was either catch half hr sleep or pump - i chose sleep.

3rd week i gave up.

ds 1 &2 are 17 months apart

A gated room with a tv My ds was 20 months when dd came. I would just gate the 3 of us in the den with snacks and books. We would read and play but when it was time to nurse I would turn on Jack and ds would be in the zone. I would also sit on the floor with the boppy and nurse dd while playing with ds. You figure it out. I promise it's not that hard :) In fact dd is 19 months and still nursing lol

I remember thinking it would be impossible but it was really fine, and I had a constructionm crew in my house until DS2 was 6wks old.

DS2 was more efficient OR maybe it was me more knowledgeable. I didn't let him stay on me for hours - I got him off and he never complained.

I entertain DS1 (19 months) with TV, puzzles, books... I would just nurse on the floor sitting next to him as he played or at the kitchen table when he colored, dod a craft or ate. I never got the hang of nursing in a sling but that is another option.

I weaned DS2 at 15 months and he was EBF.

Good luck -it can be done! Can't wait to see how I manage this next one LOL
