I am still bfing but we supplement with formula because I delivered a baby pig-not a human baby. I swear that little oinker would stay on the boob non-stop if I would let her!

Still am - still EBF - not introducing solids until 7+ months... currently goal is at 1 year, but I would LOVE to make it til 2 - or when he is ready to stop.
I am and love it, too. (Actually, I am right this second!) I plan to continue until she is ready to stop or I have another...(or maybe during my next pregnancy...)
I completely weaned at4 months Mostly because I was going back to work, but also LO was pulling off so much and eating so little that he wasn't gaining much weight. Therefore, my supply started to take a hit. I wanted to keep the morning and evening feed, but at that point my supply took a nosedive. It was hard emotionally to stop, but now I'm feeling better about it.

But I'm hoping to start up again soon. I'm seeing the LC this weekend to do a weighed feeding and figure out what is going on. I started supplementing around 4m2w and she's mostly on formula now.
I was trying to make it to 6mos EBF, but I am having to supplement about 6 oz every week or so b/c I lost my freezer stash and can't keep up with demand when he hits a growth spurt.
I should still be BFing for at least 2 more months, but we will probably supplement some.
ETA: In an ideal world, I would let him self wean, hopefully b/t 12-18 mos, but my supply issues have hit me like a slap in the face and I am just taking it one day at a time and trying to focus on him at every nursing b/c I don't know if we will be able to much longer than 6mos. Oh, and we're planning on not starting solids until 6+ mos, so hopefully I won't have to supplement too much b/t now and then.
Um, yeah. The Bump be too crazy for pics of my kid.

Still am, although I have to supplement a little during the day. If my supply holds out, we'll keep doing it until DD is 1 yo.
