Question : This query is for my wife .
She is now 1.5 months pregnant , and we are having kid who is 1.11 year old and she is still breast feeding him.
Is it safe to continue the breastfeeding..?

Brief Answer:
Discontinue breastfeeding

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
No dear she should stop feeding the elder kid becuase breastfeeding can trigger a hormone cascade in the body which can cause abortion and preterm labour pains.
So discontinue it as soon as possible.
