[quote=Anonymous]I don't think nursing a 16 month old is particularly shocking, but my question is - when you're nursing a newborn and a toddler at once isn't one of them getting the wrong kind of milk? Part of the interesting thing about breastfeeding is that the composition changes as your kid grows up and even in response to your kid's saliva (antibodies are created if baby is fighting something off, etc). The levels of protein in the milk go down precipitously after 3-4 months, and again at 7-8 months, etc. Obviously if the toddler is getting "newborn" milk, it's not the end of the world. But you want to make sure your newborn is not getting toddler milk, which has roughly half the protein of NB milk.[/quote]
