But when I got the news I was pregnant again my little guy was just too little for either of us to think about weaning. He nursed all through (I had been vegetarian and began eating meat again at this time). I remember nights he was crying and rejecting the breast, I never knew about the saltiness before. But more or less, even through the drier period, he kept on. When his brother was born and he first saw him nursing, he had such an alarmed look on his face! I opened my shirt and offered him the other side and oh, how delighted he was, and to get the good milk again too! I think it really helped with the sibling thing. We tandem nursed for a year and I have no regrets!
