I just found out I am pregnant. Currently I have been breastfeeding my 9 month old. Can I continue breastfeeding him or should I stop right away?

I heard you can keep breastfeeding, but if breast milk adjusts to the age of the baby, maybe you should check with your doctor about continuing after the new baby is born (if you choose to that long) Good Luck!

I've been researching this myself. You can continue to breastfeed, but make sure you are getting enough calories and vitamins. Pediatricians vary on this topic, but in many countries, it is the norm to breastfeed through the next pregnancy, if your baby doesn't wean herself or your milk supply doesn't get low. Try www.breastfeeding.com for more info.

I brestfed all the way through my second pregnancy. It was not a problem at all. You might want resd the book "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" and get in touch with La Leche League. They can be helpful in finding good information.
