My wife just had a baby. We want another right away. Is she able to produce milk during her next pregnancy?

While it is possible for a woman to produce milk during a subsequent pregnancy, it is generally discouraged to conceive while still breastfeeding. The hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy can affect the production and composition of breast milk, potentially making it less suitable for the newborn. Additionally, the increased nutritional demands of both pregnancy and breastfeeding can put a strain on the mother's body and may increase the risk of nutrient deficiencies. It is generally recommended to wait until after weaning before attempting to conceive again. It's important to discuss your plans with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
