You can safely continue with the breast feeding to your child even being pregnant but you will have to take care of your diet. Remember that you will have to eat for three people now, i.e. for youself , for the child on feed and for the concieved one.so increase your diet and add fruits and liquids.
generally breast feeding is strictly stopped after one and a half year,as afterwards there is no or very little milk secreted from the breast so there is no sense of breast feeding,on the contrary your child will be under nourished and will loose weight so better you stop breast feeding,there will be problem for few days and afterwards every thing will be ok
