(1) I advise "watch and wait." The female body does weird things during pregnancy and the aftermath, and doesn't necessarily respond the same way in subsequent pregnancies.
(2) The longer you nurse, the smaller your boobies will get. If you nurse once or twice a day all the way to 12 to 18 months, as more and more pediatricians now recommend, the kid will hit a critical mass at which em's gulping down volumes of milk with each nursing session, even though most nutrition comes from solids at that point. Several moms have told me that kids at that stage just vacuum the fat out of you if they're still nursing, and there's no reason why they shouldn't. When my godson was a year old, his mother could barely consume enough fats to keep up with demand. If the kid hadn't unilaterally weaned at about 18 months, she'd look like LFB. (YMMV, and everybody has an opinion about when nursing gets squicky --- grandmothers from the 50s and 60s era will say with a straight face that the baby should be put on solids at four months, against all medical advice.)
(3) Reduce, or don't reduce. It doesn't matter.
