I started my tandem nursing when my eldest girl was 1 year+10 months old and my youngest girl was just born. When i experienced the breast engorgement, my eldest girl will help me to relieve it...just let her breastfeed. And actually, it only reduced the engorgement for a while because the milk supply become more and more and very grateful to Allah since both of my girls had enough breastmilk supply even i was nursing the two of them. I felt like just gave birth to a twin babies....ehehehe
But it was not long...until when my younger baby was about 4 months old, i had to stop and prevent my eldest girl from continue to breastfeed. WHY??? Because at that time, she started trying to pull the breast nipple from her little sister's mouth whenever the younger sister was breastfeeding. So since after that, she never put her mouth on my breasts (but once a while, she will...only when the younger sister was not around)and I continued breastfeeding my younger little girl exclusively until 6 months. My younger child is currently 1 year+6 months and still breastfeed.
