In fact, continued breastfeeding is easier than weaning.
Keep feeding habit adapt brother or sister to share it with. Opportunities happen more if you continue to breastfeed until the baby is born, and then feeding the baby and sister together (tandem nursing).
If you continue breastfeeding, must do the following:

According to the study, 74% of pregnant women experience changes in the nipple, which is more sensitive and soft, so easily scratched if still breastfeeding. Prevent the right position when breastfeeding. If nipple pain, overcome the technique if the breath. If the baby can be invited to "communicate", ask him to suckle more gently and in a shorter time.

by itself.
Do not offer milk, but do not refuse if the baby wants feeding.
For babies over 6 months of age, plus the frequency of complementary foods (solids) to 3-4 times a day.
