Breastfeeding 4 month old and pregnant
Hi Doctor, I have a baby who is 4months old and my pregnancy test shows positive again. I have only been breastfeeding my baby. In the last week i have noticed some spotting. It's bright red but the flow is not like menstrual period. I have no help with my child and I have to take complete care. Is the spotting normal?
And till when can u breastfeed my baby.

Hi, if you decide to continue your pregnancy, you may need to stop breast feeding to your baby at earliest. Immediately if you continue to bleed and pain in lower tummy. In short baby's succing provocats uterine contractions , sometime causing abortion.
