Pregnant with a 1 year old

[gudgurlgonewrong]

hello mga sis! i started this topic to get insights from mommies who got pregnant or are currently pregnant with an older child whose currently in their toddler years. we have a 1 year old and im currently 15 weeks with our second child. as with any toddler, super likot si kuya and i sometimes lose my cool especially when he wants to play rough. we also mix feed, he cant sleep at night without latching. though i alternate with formula kasi my supply has gotten low since the pregnancy.  we have a stayout yaya and hubby works in another province so im left with caring for kuya the whole night. worry ko din when the baby comes out, kung paano sleeping arrangement and feeding schedule namin. i want to eventually wean him na, pero he really turns to my breasts to make him sleep.

anyone of you who've experienced these challenges? how did you deal with it?thanks sa mga sasagot

hi sis, same situation my eldest just turned 1 this january and I am also 13wks pregnant, I already weaned him kasi my obgyne recommended to stop bf him. medyo high risk kasi pregnancy ko, nagkableeding ako last march5,before that mixed feeding din kami sa gabi sa akin siya naglalatch, but after ng bleeding incident pinag-bedrest ako at di na ako pinayagan magbreastfeed kay eldest, ang naging setup namin si mama ko nagpapatulog sa kanya hindi ako pumapasok ng room hanggang gising siya, tapos kapag nakatulog na, katabi niya din mama ko, umiwas muna ako na makatabi niya sa gabi para masanay siya na wala ako at hindi naglalarch sa akin para makatulog, ngayon FM na talaga sya, pero nalulungkot ako kung hindi lang ako pinagbawalan gusto ko parin siya i-bf sana, sabi na lang ng husband ko ibalik na lang daw ulit sa pag-bf kapag lumabas na si 2nd baby.

I'm almost on the same situation except that my son is now 3 years old.  My husband only comes homes 2 times a month.  I'm now 37 weeks pregnant and it's just me and my son in the house.  We have a stay out house help.  My problem is how to deal with my son when I give birth.  Sanay anak ko na kami lang sa bahay lalo na sa gabi.  Nakasiksik pa siya sa akin pag matutulog.  When he wakes up at night at nakatalikod ako sa kanya, hihilahin niya ako just to face him.

hi sis, how long did it take before you completely weaned him? si kuya he would really cry pag hindi siya nakapag-bf sa akin, sort of comfort feeding lang din kasi i also give him fm when i feel na kulang na supply ko for him. buti you have your mom, kami kasi stayout ang yaya. we have a stayin help kaso bading and hindi talaga nasanay si kuya na may ibang katabi other than me and his dad. buti na lang wala namang issues sa pregnancy ko kaya i still carry him minsan, though he's more than 10kg na

safe pregnancy especially to you sis! how are you sa second pregnancy mo? ako medyo mas pasaway this time hehe.

yan din ang concern ko sis, though we plan naman to put the new baby sa crib muna para katabi ko pa din si kuya. wag lang sana silang magsabay mag-ask for dede. guess we need to learn the art of tandem feeding too goodluck to us, sis!

^Every time I think of it, I just tell my self, I'll just cross the bridge when I get there. hahaha.  For now kasi wala talaga ako idea on how to deal with it.  Mommy instincts will help if the time comes.
I don't want to put the baby on the crib for it will be harder for me to breastfeed him.  Ay ewan.
