My goal was and is six months.  Last time I had to stop at five and a half months (supply just wasn't there) and it annoys me I didn't hit my goal!

DS pretty much self-weaned at 13 months. My goal was a year and is a year for this one as well.

My goal is 6 months.

MileHighGirl

I'd love to get to a year...but we'll see what kind of milk supply I have, and what I end up doing about work.  I'm not sure that I could/would be that dedicated about pumping at work if I end up coming back.  I hope to be home at least 6 months before either coming back to work or finding a more flexible and/or closer to home job.

DD I made it 13 months.  For the twins, I hope to make it to a year, too....

I don't really have a goal. My goal is just to breastfeed as long as I'm able.

I don't want the baby to have formula (plus I am lazy & cheap) so I'd prefer to go 12mo until they go to whole milk.  BUT that's only a plan...my DD#1 wouldn't latch & she was basically exclusively formula fed, DD#2 BF until 15mo, never had any formula.

haha i can see it now! bite bite!

I'm hoping for a year, but a lot of that will depend on supply with pumping since I'm going back to work.

I hear with the teeth issue that the first bite sucks, but after you pull the kid off, they realize that biting = no milk, so they stop with the biting. We'll see how true this is once the time comes.

my goal is a year but we will see how that goes because i have a feeling that pumping at work will be very difficult

The idea of breastfeeding doesn't thrill me, but I'm committed to try it for at least 4 months (which takes me to about Thanksgiving, since my baby is due on July 20th).  Everyone keeps telling me that at 4 months I'll love it so much that I won't want to give it up, and if so, great - but I'm not pressuring myself to do it past that point.  If I love it, great.  If I hate it, well, at least I gave it a decent run and my baby got lots of antibodies.  That's how I look at it, anyway.

I would love to breast feed but I produce twice as much milk then i should so i dont leak i pour....lol I had to sleep with a towel around my chest and when i would wake up it would be soaked...Not comfortable at all!

IselaCid

My goal is two years minimum and then re-evaluate from there.

KrisFlower

18 months to 2 years...

I want to go a year

My goal was 1 year, and I was able to breastfeed my daughter until she was 15 1/2 months.  I'd like to make it to a year again, possibly up to 15 months.

tiggernorton04

My goal is to nurse two years or so.  I'll (hopefully) take a year off and then by the time I go back to work, maybe I'll only be nursing a couple times a day.  We'll see.
