I tandem nursed my daughter and son for 18 months, and my son is still nursing. While I was trying to sort through the challenges and joys of my own tandem nursing experience, I began writing a book on the topic. How exciting to connect with 200 other mothers who had breastfed during pregnancy and either weaned during pregnancy or went on to tandem nurse! How gratifying to dig into scientific literature and correspond with researchers, finally getting some answers to the many questions that arise!

Some pregnant mothers can tell you exactly what week the agitation set in for them, and although it differs from woman to woman, mid-pregnancy seems to be a common time of onset. Many women find that the agitation abates in late pregnancy, while others find that this is when it’s most intense.

The Exclusive Breastfeeding method of birth control is also called the Lactational Amenorrhea Method of birth control, or LAM.

My distraught two-and-a-half year old daughter is insisting on nursing, lying down "like a baby," on a favorite spot on the bedroom floor. I know that if I can just nurse her down to sleep this temper tantrum will be over. I realize that my best bet is to lie down and nurse her on the lower breast. This way I can stack my three-week old son on top of her and he can nurse my upper breast.
