“…Another important myth revealed in our study was that tandem breastfeeding would cause growth and developmental retardation and that milk would poison the baby in the mother's womb. Similarly, Doğancı reported that mothers who thought that continuing breastfeeding during pregnancy would harm the fetus thought that the fetus would be poisoned, would not be able to get vitamins, and would not be able to grow and develop adequately 32 .

“…25 Bonyata and Flower stated women who tandem breastfed did not have concerns about whether their milk would come out in the prenatal period, as in their first pregnancy, and this could be counted among the positive aspects of tandem breastfeeding. 26 According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, tandem breastfeeding can facilitate the adaptation of the older child to the new baby, supports the mother's desire to maintain intimacy with the older child, and even facilitates child care as both children are fed and relaxed while sucking. 27 In the book section where the examination of breastfeeding videos was presented, Foss stated that mothers who tandem breastfed and their babies looked happy, peaceful, and fun.…”

Objective: Despite many benefits of tandem breastfeeding, mothers stop breastfeeding their older babies early during pregnancy due to inadequate knowledge and support. This study was conducted to determine the tandem breastfeeding experiences of mothers. Study Design: A phenomenological design was used in this study. The data of the study were collected between January and August 2018. In-depth, individual, open-ended interviews were carried out for data collection. A personal information form and a semi-structured in-depth interview form were used to collect data. Participants: It was conducted with 13 women who were tandem breastfeeding, 9 of whom had given birth and 4 of whom were pregnant. Results: The data obtained from the interviews with mothers who were tandem breastfeeding were classified into 9 themes, namely metaphors, feelings, benefits, myths, facilitators, pathways to tandem breastfeeding, fears and worries, difficulties, and obstacles. Mothers experienced many benefits of tandem breastfeeding for maternal and infant health. In addition, although there was no evidence in the literature regarding the harms of tandem breastfeeding, they encountered many myths about it. These myths increased their concerns about this type of breastfeeding. Mothers could not get enough information and support from healthcare professionals, and this was reported as a challenging experience of tandem breastfeeding. Conclusion: Despite many positive experiences, mothers who tandem breastfeed may also face various difficulties. They need a breastfeeding-friendly environment and support from family and health professionals to cope with these challenges.

Background and Aim There is usually a strong cultural taboo when breastfeeding overlaps with pregnancy. A lot of mothers cease breastfeeding their infants when they conceive again due to social pressure, professional advice, or their own beliefs. The present research aimed to reveal the attitudes of mothers who conceived again while breastfeeding their infants and their experiences in this process.MethodsThe data of the study, were collected between November 2018 and March 2019 in Sakarya University Education and Research Hospital, Sakarya. The study conducted in 40 women in whom lactation overlapped with pregnancy, and the face-to-face interview technique was employed for data collection. Data were collected using an information form containing information about the participants and a semi-structured interview form. The interviews conducted were then examined using the interpretative phenomenological analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods. The codes and themes were created using the NVIVO 9.0 program. In the report of this study, the Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist was utilized as a guide.ResultsThe mean age of the mothers is 26.70±4.58 (min: 20, max: 36), 62.5% (n=25) of the mothers were in the third trimester. While 5% of the mothers (n=2) continued breastfeeding during pregnancy, 95% (n=38) ceased breastfeeding at certain periods of pregnancy. It was observed that the mothers who conceived again during the lactation period considerably hesitated how to act about breastfeeding, they were significantly influenced by the people in their environment concerning how to overcome this, and they were often misguided.Conclusion There is obviously an urgent need for evidence-based studies on the subject. Studies to be carried out in this regard will increase the self-confidence of healthcare professionals and will enable them to perform effective training and counseling on the subject
