As in, how long are you hoping to bf for? Or, are you going to wait until your LO self weans.
When I found out I was pregnant, I had a goal of 6 months. During my 3rd trimester, that goal went up to 1 year. But now, I will happily continue to breastfeed until my little man decides to stop. I never thought I would enjoy nursing this much. It's amazing.
Re: What is your goal?
Before and during PG, my goal was to BF for at least 1 year. After the first few weeks, once nursing got easy, my goal changed to stopping pumping at work at 1 year, but still BFing until one of us wants to wean (probably until at least 18 months). Now, that DS is almost 19 months, we're still going strong (in fact DS has been BFing MORE recently). Unless circumstances change, and I no longer want to BF, my new goal is to continue until DS self-weans.
BFP#2: EDD 2/11/14, MMC confirmed 7/15/13 (growth stopped at 6 weeks), D&C @ 12 weeks 7/25/13
My goal is a year, and then we'll re-evaluate at that time. I'm actually EPing now, so it's a lot of work (but well worth it IMO).
Me too!

My goal is one year. Has been from the very beginning (although those first 2 weeks were hell! and i thought that was quite an accomplishment)
However. I WANT MY BOOBIES BACK!!! I love providing natural nourishment for my baby... and I do it without hesitation, don't get me wrong. But.... I want to enjoy intimacy again.
Who knows though. Maybe when 1 yr actually rolls around I will be bittersweet about weaning and keep it going a bit longer. It's a tough decision to make, but hopefully it will be clear when the time comes.
