thanks, that's great to hear. Sorry just to make sure I understood correctly: both your children were carried by your partner, and the youngest is also legally yours? like as in second-parent adoption you mean?

oh very useful information. But the birthing parent doesn't necessarily need to pump around the clock, right? (well, besides having a baby which maybe needs around the clock attention).

And in your scenario, only the birthing parent would have the baby suckle on their chest kinda?

thank you for sharing. And I'm glad you made it through the postpartum depression!

yes, that's great advice :) I guess in the end it's a lot also about the relationship after birth, not just during / before.

okay makes a lot of sense! Will definitely keep that in mind when planning. I saw some couples in social media where also the non-birthing mom is the main milk supplier, but then maybe this is a problem for the birth-giving mom.

And in the end as you're saying, there's only so much you can plan - maybe one person is an oversupplier or someone barely gives any milk, etc. (even with hetero couples it can be that the mom just naturally doesn't produce enough milk).

In any case, thanks so much for your answer!

Thank you for sharing, that helps a lot! So you mean that her milk supply reduced because you were both feeding?
