Breastfeeding while trying to conceive
Currently I am breast feeding to my first 3 years kid. In the same time I am planning for second kid. I am trying since last 2 months, but till no success.
Is breast feeding causing delay in conceiving? I am aware of post pregnancy we should stop breast feed and that I will do it once I am pregnant. But while trying to conceive also does breast feed causes issue ? Or we can continue breast feeding while trying to conceive and there are no issues in it? Could you please suggest on this?

Breastfeeding this long is a bad idea
At age 3 years it will be very difficult to wean the baby off
Yes breastfeeding leads to hormonal imbalance
Probably anovulatory cycles and that could be the reason for the inability to conceive

You should try to stop breastfeeding because it would be difficult to stop immediately once you conceive

Stop breast feeding, since your kid is already 3 years, and then try for pregnancy
