Can we make this a sticky?

madhatter2003 · October 2008

I'd love to see who has bf and how long for....or for those currently bfing how long they plan to bf for.

Sort of a 'graduate board' like in the book "Milk Memos".

I'll start: I BF my DD for 14 months. I plan to BF baby #2 for at least a year.

kiliwicket · October 2008

I BF DS for 6 months before my milk supply vanished due to stress. I hope to BF DD for atleast a year.

foreverMorgan · October 2008

My son is 15 months old and he's still nursing. I'm ready to BF bb#2 until she self weans or until 2 years of age, whichever comes first.

Erin Mary Ackerman · October 2008

BF DD for 14 months though I started giving a supplement at 6 months due to a low supply-wish I had more support then, i'd have never supplemented and I am sad a little that i did/

Am currently EBF DS age 5 months 3 weeks, and hope to continue until wean w/o supplementing!

MrsAHoffman · October 2008

I'm very new to bfing - DD will be 2 wks tomorrow. I love it so far. I plan on bfing for at least 1 year.

jerimbato · October 2008

I plan to BF for at least a year- I have known for a long time that I would want to BF and I am looking forward to it.

helovesducatis · October 2008

DD is 6 months and I plan on BFing for at least a year.

VivianLee · October 2008

Connor is almost 16 months and still going at it. He is down to 2 times a day. I'm ready to wean those out but he is very persistant. I think 18 months is my limit though. Good luck to all of you starting out and great job to all of you who have given it a try.

847Christine · October 2008

I have been BFing for a little over 7 weeks now & plan to continue until at least 12 months if possible. I'm not sure when exactly I'll add solids to the mix, but I plan to add BM to cereal etc.

hula_lula · October 2008

I BF my DD for 17 months. I plan to BF baby #2 for 18m-2 years. We'll see how it goes

ashersmom · October 2008

We are still going at 16 months-down to 1-3 times a day. I want to make it through flu season and then we will see what is happening then.

books4brooke · October 2008

We've been BF for a month. I pump as well so we switch between breast and bottle. I'd like to BF at least through August when DS is 11 mo (I teach so it would be easier to wean before school starts again).

Tara Lu · October 2008

I've been EBFing for 3.5 months now! I plan to for at least 12 mos but am hoping for at least 18 mos.

?

I am soooo happy to see this board!?

Alirebco · October 2008

We've been breastfeeding for almost 10 months and plan to go until 18 months or until he self weans. ?I'm so excited that we're almost at the year mark - what an accomplishment that will be!

mdmquinn · October 2008

i have been bf for four mos, we had a tough go of it at first, but i am so glad i stuck with it. we had alot of great support! we are going to continue until it doesn't work for us anymore. so glad they started this board!

true_norskie · October 2008

I BFed #1 for just over 13 mos, an accomplishment I'm very proud of considering I went back to work when she was 12 weeks old and she never had a drop of formula.

I'd love to do the same with #2 but my job is a little more demanding this time so we'll see. I'm building a freezer stash now (something I didn't do the first time) so that I can stretch out the breast milk a little longer if I can't keep up pumping at work.

Right now I have realistic, shorter term goals. I'm shooting for six months and will set another goal (maybe 9 mos?) if I make it that far.

jenhum · October 2008

I've been BFing for 2.5 months, though we do supplement with formula 1 time a day due to many issues we still have. But I am hopeful that she will be EBF by 4 months, and I would like to BF until she weans or until 2 years, whichever comes first.

So glad they made a board for this! I think it can be one of the biggest challenges a new mom faces.

ECUGirl2004 · October 2008

I've been BFing for 6 months and I don't know when we'll stop. I'd like to let DS self-wean, but I may change my mind down the road.

Alligator · October 2008

My goal is to bf until DS self-weans. I'm thinking around 2 years old is when I might encourage him to stop.

tmbuchmann · October 2008

I plan on BF till at least 1 year, if I make it that long. If we are still going then I will wean DS off of it and hopefully my boobs will get smaller.

kateland3 · October 2008

i've been BFing for 2 months, and plan to BF for at least a year. ultimately, i'd like henry to self-wean, but we'll see.

aclearyusa · October 2008

I have been BFing DD for 4 months and hope to make it to a year.

johnsoar · October 2008

DD has been BFing for almost 7 months. I would like to make it to 1 year but my freezer supply is down to 17 8oz bags and I only pump 5 oz at work...DD eats 8 oz. I figure I will make it to 10 months before I have to supplement the additional 3 oz with formula

Angela814 · October 2008

I am still bfing my 29 month old. I am planning to let her self wean.

olivia_eve · October 2008

DD is almost 6 months old, and has been EBF this whole time. I plan to BF DD until she is at least 12 months old, and anything longer than that is a bonus.

TheBrowns · October 2008

I nursed DS until 13 months - he weaned and I found out we were expecting again! I hope to nurse all my kids for at least a year.

milfy1 · October 2008

I BF'd DS till he was 19 months, yes 19 months. i am planning on BFing DD till at least 18 months. (usually by that age its only about 3 times a day at most).

Fishstyx · October 2008

I've BF DD for 4 months so far, goal is one year but I can see myself going longer. I'm really excited about this new board!

*ANS* · October 2008

I weaned him at 6 months, I got sick of pumping at work.

citygirl_ · October 2008

BF 8 months so far and will BF at LEAST a year... I know it'll be longer, though.... Jude looooves to nurse.

cat81305 · October 2008

I am still BFing 8.5 mths now and things are going well! I plan to continue until he stops or he is 2, whichever comes first. I am getting rid of the pump though at a year!

roseroseroseroserose · October 2008

madhatter2003:

Sort of a 'graduate board' like in the book "Milk Memos".

Good idea MadHatter!

DD is almost 11 mos and we have no desire to wean anytime soon. I have been pumping at work since she was 8 weeks and she's never had formula. I feel very blessed!

shindylahoe · October 2008

I have been breastfeeding DD#1 for 7 months and hope to tandem nurse if I can ever get my BFP! haha.

Temp200154562509288 · October 2008

I'm still going and I hope to go until DD is at least a year

Obsidiandreams · October 2008

I plan to BF for a year. The first 6 months have just flown by.

SpartanGirl · October 2008

I BF DD for 15 months.

DS was BF for 6 months. I was so sad about weaning. I had planned to go to at least 18 months, but we had to wean to Neocate b/c we could not get control of food allergy/intolerance issues.

ChefSarah22 · October 2008

I've been breastfeeding for 7.5 months. ?I would like to make it to 1 year but I don't know that my supply will cooperate. ?It seems to be dropping lately and I am finding it harder and harder to find the time to pump while I am at work.

Sassystace · October 2008

I breastfeed my dd for a year. My supply dropped with working/pumping especially around 9 months but we made it to the 1 year mark (and you can too!). We had to supplement some along the way but I always felt that giving her whatever I could was a boost to her health. Breastfeeding was a great experience for both of us.
