Abstract :The aim of this case report is to discuss the medical history and experiences of a mother experiencing tandem breastfeeding. YE is 32 years old and gave birth to her two children (child A and B) by cesarean section. YE learned that she was unintentionally pregnant with her third child (child C) when her second child (child B) was eight months old, and she breastfed her second child throughout the pregnancy. The woman was informed that she could breastfeed her baby during pregnancy. In addition, she met with a nutritionist and her diet was adjusted. YE went to hospital with a sudden discharge of amniotic fluid before 37 weeks of pregnancy and gave birth. She continued to breastfeed Child B and C together after birth. It was determined that the weight gain of Child C, who was three months old, was normal in the controls. In this case report, it was concluded that tandem breastfeeding did not have a negative effect on child health and development.
