I bf for the whole first year. I had a good sized stash so I started to cut down actual bfing and using that milk so I could slowly wean DD around 10.5 months or so. She was on bottles with breast from day 1 because of a feeding issue but no formula. The first time around I set small goals. I wanted to make it the first 6 weeks which honestly the first 4 is the hardest imo and then gets much better. Then after 6 weeks I wanted to try to make it 1 month pumping and working and then I said until she is 6 months old, until she bites me, and it turned into 12. The farther I got the easier it was to keep going for me. Plus the money savings that is a big motivator for me too hehe!

1 year (nursing and pumping at work).  I made it through 1 baby with teeth- and will do the same with #2- you definitely don't have to stop.
