How long did you BF / pump for?

penelopemaria · June 2014

OH - and no judgment in this thread!

Mrbatesisinnocent · June 2014

Over six months and still going here. Still EBF.

Mrbatesisinnocent · June 2014

Also, I'm a hippie.

snorticusprime · June 2014

I voted ss bc technically it has only been 5 months since LO is a January baby. Still going but feeling like we may supplement soon for my peace of mind.

Kimgaroo16 · June 2014

I'm still pumping (5 months) but I only get enough for 2 bottles a day. The rest is formula.
I'm not sure what category that puts me in

Well, I didn't want to say it, but I made this poll so I could judge all of you bitches who didn't vote in the second last option.

I breastfed for 15 months with my oldest, only 3 months with my second and I'm going to try and make it a year (at least) this time. I feel like my second got jipped.

HerpDerpMapleSerp1208 · June 2014

Sunday will be 6 months and going strong

n8swife · June 2014

We're still EBF and will go until he self weans. DS1 weaned at 16 months.

dmbeatty87 · June 2014

Was 3 days an option? :-/ Total mommy fail here. Judge away!

BootsOrHearts · June 2014

I said I'd quit at 3 months but every time I get ready to pack it in I hear horror stories about formula and constipation or I read an article about how much formula costs or something like that. Fuck you universe.

@BootsOrHearts‌ for random FYI. Without coupons or sales, our formula is 200/mo. eeks. Dh was shocked. 8 tubs a month adds up fast.

I know right? No one tells you these things!

lp0 · June 2014

I'm hoping to make it to a year with DD. I did it with DS but this time around I'm having supply issues. I can supply as she needs it throughout the day but if I have to pump to leave her nothing comes out (or I only get a stupid once). I have had to give her formula a handful of times.

I never pumped with DS so I don't know if I would have had an issue then too but my boobs are smaller this time around so I think I'm not producing as much.

notkateanymore · June 2014

I'm judging all the polls...

amberpro · June 2014

Goal is a year. DS2 is currently 5 months.

DS1 went close to 11 months then self-weaned, but I had stopped pumping between 8-9 months. He only BFed am, pm, and weekends at that point.

I never considered throwing it in with DS1, but DS2 has been quite a bit harder... Mostly more painful.

Wow! I take it little man is on some pretty special stuff? Both our boys did soy, but I don't think it was all that much more expensive. Smelled bad, though.

While it's not $200 higher, I'm continuously amazed at how much our food bill has gone up in the past seven months. It's probably more about the boys growing than me nursing, but I'm definitely consuming more than I was, by a significant amount.

Anybody else noticed this in their budget?

$200 is just for the basic store brand stuff. I think if you get into name brand or specialty the cost goes through the roof. We've talked about it and I don't think we can afford it right now. And we can switch to wcm at a year anyway

iranwithscissors · June 2014

Still breastfeeding here with no plans on stopping soon. DS2 breastfed for 26 months so I'm curious to see how long LO will last.

@lisa1129‌ dd refused bottles until 4 months and took a sippy cup, now she will use a bottle. Have you tried the sippy?
I give him a sippy every few days and he just bites the spout. I think he's just playing with it because nothing comes out. He also doesn't take pacifiers and hasn't been eating solids very well- it's like, all he wants in his mouth is my nipples.

Same here, had high hopes for solids but very much not interested.

jy725 · June 2014

LO is 6 months and we are going strong!

JillSandm · June 2014

SS because we're 5.5 ish months worth no plans to stop in the foreseeable future.

tyedyeme12 · June 2014

@SweetSouthernMomma08‌ - how much is he eating? I'm so confused how you're going through 2 tubs a week?! Jude takes 6 oz every 3 hours...and gets oatmeal in the morning and veggies at night- we use a tub every 2 weeks maybe.

tyedyeme12 · June 2014

Ok, yeah I think our tubs are double that. I was worried I needed to up his formula or doing something wrong!!

Wtf!!!!! What kind do you use??? See if I switched I'd need the nutramigen which is like highway robbery!!

If she would even tolerate Nutramigen because it's still cows milk, just that the protein has been hydrolyzed. Some very sensitive babies with casein intolerance can't even have that one!

I am in the same boat as you. I hope she grows out of the intolerance by the time we're done BF'ing.

BootsOrHearts · June 2014

@sweetsouthernmomma‌08 have I told you lately how awesome you are? I'm sending you virtual hugs.

@lisa1129‌ we have the same baby.

musicnmoon123 · June 2014

Nursing isn't hard for me (the ladies for which this isn't true have all my sorries), so I like it for the closeness and her dependence on me. My husband likes it even more than I do because we don't have to buy formula.

Nursing isn't hard for me anymore (it was excruciating for the first 3 months!!!), and I love it for the same reasons. My DH loves it because it's an excuse to get out of MOTN feedings. ETA that's supposed to quote Yezbick. Over editing fail.

tattooedtragedy · June 2014

We supplement and have pretty much since birth but we are officially at the 6 month mark and I'm really proud to have made it this far. I only lasted 3 mos with Dd1. But now that I'm back at work and pumping multiple times a day I'm not sure how long I'll make it. I fucking LOATHE pumping but don't want to give up bfing completely.

ReggieLou13 · June 2014

6+ months and still going. A year is our goal. I pump 2x a day and nurse on demand.

Want a personalized experience?
