You should understand the possibility of getting pregnant while breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding does decrease the chances of getting pregnant but it is still possible to get pregnant during the breastfeeding period.
The frequency of breastfeeding greatly influences the possibility of getting pregnant. Less frequent breastfeeding increases the chances for ovulation. Generally, periods start one year and three months postpartum but periods can stop again afterward due to the frequent breastfeeding.
Whether to keep breastfeeding or not
Consider the baby’s appearance and your wish carefully before deciding whether to continue or stop breastfeeding.
Consult an expert if you want to continue breastfeeding but research shows that 60-70% of babies are weaned naturally.
Reasons for that
Due to the amount and consumption of breast milk during pregnancy, the baby stops drinking generally.
Because of pain and discomfort, the mother stops breastfeeding. Time for weaning has come regardless of pregnancy.
Moreover, it is possible that the baby starts to drink breast milk again after the birth of the new baby even if he stopped during pregnancy.
