My older son is 2 and a half and his brother is 6 weeks. My older child nursed right through my pregnancy even though my milk diminished at the end. He tended to nurse at bedtime and naptime (when I was home). Now it’s hard to be available to nurse him at these times, it depends on what his brother is doing, if he needs to be fed, held, changed etc.

I’ve not had much luck with tandem nursing because my older child wants to nurse mainly lying down as this is what he was used to for the last year. I will try the suggestion of having him lean over me but we tried this once and I found it awkward. Anyone have any other suggestions? I know he is not yet ready to wean and want to make sure he feels included and loved and doesn’t develop resentment towards his brother.
