Tandem breastfeeding is the simultaneous breastfeeding of a newborn baby and a baby under the age of two by the mother.
But let's go back to the beginning and start from there. Breastfeeding, which is perhaps the most beneficial interaction in the world, is very important for the baby to provide all the nutrients necessary for its physical growth and social development, and it is very important for the mother to strengthen her bond with the baby and for breast health. It is useful. It is recommended that newborn babies receive breast milk exclusively for the first 6 months and with complementary foods until the age of 2. I always tell my patients, we are together until the birth, but I think the care of the mother after birth is as important as the pregnancy period. If the necessary importance is not given to nutrition during the breastfeeding period, the quality of the milk will decrease and the mother's body stores will decrease. Motherhood is not only the period of birth and breastfeeding, it is a lifetime, both ourselves and ourselves. We must pay attention to our health and nutrition for our children after birth. In this respect, I do not recommend pregnancy at frequent intervals of more than 2 years, but should mothers who are breastfeeding continue to breastfeed if they become pregnant again during this period?
-Yes, they can continue.
What can happen in this process?
- Starting from the 16th week of pregnancy, the content of breast milk changes due to hormonal reasons and the baby begins to suckle spontaneously. may want to stop for some reason.
-The change in the milk content may cause the stool of the breastfed baby to become softer. This change is a situation that makes one wonder if the baby has been poisoned, but of course, such a thing does not happen, the pregnant mother It does not poison milk.
-If the mother's nutrition is not sufficient, then the weight gain of the breast-fed baby may decrease. At this point, the advice of pediatricians should be taken.

- Nipple stimulation causes the secretion of oxytocin (birth hormone) in the mother. The uterus usually does not respond to this stimulation and is not affected, but in some cases, if there is a risk of premature birth or miscarriage, you should follow the advice of your physician who is monitoring your pregnancy.
