  • My goal is still a year, even though BFing is painful for me. But I'll definitely do 6 months. I'm almost halfway there!

  • It never really worked out for me so I stopped after the first few weeks.

  • don't have a set date in mind, just seeing how it goes.
  • I plan on nursing in the morning and at night.  I am supplementing with formula during the day.  I will only pump to keep up my nighttime or morning supply.

  • I planned to quit at 9 weeks when I went back to work but due to very low supply it just wasn't worth it so I quit after 1 month. (I would not have been able to pump at work since I work in a small retail store and my options for pumping would be a dirty bathroom with no table or anything to put supplies on and a back office with very limited heat and cameras.)

  • I'm going to try to go the full year.   I really don't enjoy pumping, but have a nice private office to do it in, so I can't complain.  It's been about a month, and so far, my supply is okay.  I have to pump and nurse before heading to work, then pump once or twice at work (schedule permittting).  I am ready to burst when I get home though, so I either pump or nurse as soon as I'm in the door.
