Hi,

Yes it is possible.  I fell pregant when my baby was 16months.  I had to stop when I was about 2 months pregant cause it hurt to feed.

The less you feed the baby the more chance there is of conceiving so don't fret it will happen.  Warning... the more you stress over it the less likely it is to happen.  Just sit back relax and let your body do the talking.

Thank-you heaps everyone, its great to get information from other mums that have actually gone through it.

 

it all depends on if you are ovulating again.  breastfeeding suppresses ovulation, and without the egg, that poor sperm has nowhere to go!  by 13 months, unless you are nursing often and for decent periods of time (around the clock basically), my guess is that you are ovulating and your period has returned.  if this is the case, you can conceive, and you can continue to nurse your baby.  the nutrition you take in from the pregnancy will automatically go to the fetus first, your toddler second and you last.  for this reason, it's essential that you take a prenatal vitamin and eat very well to get all the nutrition your body needs. 

i nursed my daughter about 5 months into my pregnancy, and we resumed once my son was born for another three or four months.  this is called tandem nursing and if you go to google and type in that term, you will find a lot of information about how it works and the benefit it has to reduce sibling rivalry.

hope that helps.

Hi, Yes it is possible to fall pregnant while breastfeeding,I fell pregnant twice while I was still breastfeeding.My daughter was only 6months old and still full on feeding when I found out I was pregnant.

I think it's more of a old wifes tale that you can't fall pregnant whilst feeding.
