Yes most definitely.
Breast feeding is not a contraceptive method but the hormones released can inhibit ovulation so it may take longer to fall. Again it IS NOT a contraceptive method.
I know of a Mum who weaned her younger one 1 month before #2 was born. I know another who fed her newborn & toddler, she was told the older sucked harder so got more of the heavy milk where bub (who always went first) got the fore milk.Personally not sure how that works but it worked for them Mum & 2 bubs very healthy
Due to the hormones released during pregnancy the taste of your milk may change but the nutritional value is still there.
Few thing to consider:
You must maintain excellent diet tonourishh yourfetuss as well as your infant
Your boobs may just not want a hungry infant chowing down during that ouchy boob first trimester
A baby can be possessive of boobs so especially if youre feeding/weaning a toddler be aware that there could be ownership issues if you wean to close to the birth where the elder feels kicked off for the baby.

A non pregnant lady can lactate even though it takes alot of time and attempt or maybe then there is each now and then no longer adequate milk produced. there's a e book talked approximately as "what to assume: the 1st twelve months" and it has an element incredibly in this. You exceedingly plenty would desire to feed the toddler each 2 hours and pump like loopy, Im undecided in case you would be able to desire to take drugs or no longer nevertheless. some females actual start up lactacting via using being around infants so which you by no skill comprehend you're one among them.

She can, but the baby may be a little fussy as the taste of the milk might change a little!
