How long do you plan on nursing?

When will you give baby regular cows milk?

My goal is to BF until at least 6months and then re-evaluate. And I have no idea on the cows milk.

My goal was 6 months and we made that yesterday.  Now I am just going to do it as long as I can, plus I have about 2 weeks worth in my freezer.

I'll do cow's milk at 1 year, just like I did with DD.

we'll intro cow's milk after a year, when my freezer stash has depleted.  Plan on nursing at least a year until she weans.  First DD was 15 mos

My goal is a year and I suspect I'll go a little past that. ?I am planning on going to St. Thomas for a girls trip - without Ethan - the week before labor day, so I will wean before that though. ?He will be 13 months at that point.

A?

Right now my goal is 3 months to EBF..  We are already starting to have some issues with supply with working (I can't pump at work regularly and my supply is definitely taking a hit from it). So we may start supplementing at 3 months.. I have an OK stash, but not great. I am going to have to bust into it tomorrow..  It actually makes me really sad to think about stopping, but I also want my little girl to be happy and not hungry!

Oh.. and i will give cows milk at 1 year.

Aiming for one year here and I'll starting giving cow's milk at one year. I'll miss BFing for sure but I loathe the pump and can't wait for the day that I retire it.

Hopefully for a year and then milk

I am planning and hoping for a full year.

I hadn't thought about cow's milk, yet. I don't even know when it is ok for them to drink but for sure won't as long as I am bf'ing.

About a year I guess, but we'll have to see how things are going when its closer to that time. We just hit 6 months and have only dabbled in solids. Maybe she'll want to wean sooner than a year, maybe a little later. WHO says 2 years is great, but I can't yet imagine that in my head.

I have no personal convictions about cow's milk. I've been using wholesomebabyfood.com as a guide so whatever they say and the ped. sounds good to me.

ok so I guess 1year is average for cows milk, ok now it's time for me to pump so my kid can eat tomorrow. I can't tell you how much I HATE pumping at work, but it's worth it

Planning on BFing for one year and then weaning shortly thereafter.  I will probably introduce milk at that time.

I plan on BF for a year as long as my supply keeps up.  Right now, I have about a months worth frozen, so I may be able to stop pumping before 12 months.

We will start cows milk at about a year.

I am not sure when I plan on stopping. I set short goals for myself and that seems to work great. I wanted to get to 3 months and I did so I am now going to try to get to 4 months. It was a lot easier to nurse her when I was home but being back at work makes it hard. I pump at work but have noticed my supply has gone down. I hope I can make it to 4 months. I feel bad for stopping too since I love that time with her. Oh and after a year for cow's milk.

I plan on nursing until around 1 year.  Due to the timing of things (his birthday is July 19 and he starts daycare August 3), I didn't want to be weaning and going to daycare all at the same time.  I'll start weaning a week or 2 before his birthday to whole milk.  That'll give us about a month to make sure we're both okay! 

mrs_ross07

I want to BF until he's at least one. I don't know about cow's milk. I can't have any while nursing b/c he has horrible stomach pains when I eat it. We will just have to see.

mrsdanigirl8

Not sure about cow's milk...

My goal for bfing is 1 year but I'll go longer if he will

I plan to BF at least to a year, then let her self wean.  I may start her on soy milk before cow's milk.  We drink both & I think it would be an easier transition that way.
