Tandem nursing make my wife condition becoming worse
Since two months ago, my wife is pregnant and decide to keep breastfeeding our first son. This tandem nursing make my wife condition is becoming worse. My wife is having a flu for this two months. When my wife increase the frequency of breastfeeding, my wife's health is worser, the flu is getting heavy, plus a cough. This situation make us planning to stop tandem nursing. I am afraid that when the fetus is getting bigger, my wife body can't handle to do tandem nursing.
I did search and read articles related tandem nursing. But i haven't found that tandem nursing has probability to make mom conditions is getting worse, just like what happens to my wife. It seems that my wife body cannot handle to do tandem nursing.
Does anyone have ever face this situation? How do you handle this situation?
Any good references would be appreciated too.

You don't explain what you mean by "wife's condition is becoming worse" but if your wife is having problems with breastfeeding while pregnant, I would suggest to simply stop breastfeeding. Since your first son is already more than one year old (you mentioned that in this question), he does not need to be breastfed.
I assume that by "tandem nursing" you mean breastfeeding one child while being pregnant with another. At least, that's how I interpret your post.
