TBH, I felt it was EASIER when I went back to work. And I got a guaranteed break ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrate-how-long-your-breastfed/page/2#post-2307411 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 10:21:55 +0000 ElbieKay 2307411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was EBF. I pumped and nursed til 10mos. Stopped pumping at 10mos and introduced WCM during the work day, but kept nursing when we were together. Eventually cut back to just morning and evening, then cut out the evening feed around 13mos, and finished weaning at 16mos.</p> <p>He will be 19mos next week and still asks to nurse multiple times a day. But he asks other people too, including his grandpa, so I think he's just making conversation.</p> <p>It was hard and exhausting and in hindsight I'm surprised I never quit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrate-how-long-your-breastfed/page/2#post-2307356 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 09:56:06 +0000 catlady 2307356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>23 months and counting!

Then I had to start supplementing, and I fully weaned by 9.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrate-how-long-your-breastfed/page/2#post-2307166 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 08:02:01 +0000 Herrade 2307166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 4 months and has only had the boob -- no bottles. But that's just because I'm a crappy pumper and I hate it. </p> <p>I love breastfeeding -- even the rough patches are good, because they make the sweet moments even better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrate-how-long-your-breastfed/page/2#post-2307161 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 07:59:35 +0000 Alivoo01 2307161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I EP for DS until he was 6 months when he miraculously latched on and nursed like he's been doing it since birth. I continued to EBF until he was 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrate-how-long-your-breastfed/page/2#post-2307142 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 07:48:39 +0000 LulaBee 2307142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>26 months!

LO had feeding issues and needed thickened feeds so we switched to formula 100% at two months old. He is happy and healthy. I still I wish I had been able to provide him with breast milk for much longer, but I'm glad he at least got some!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrate-how-long-your-breastfed/page/2#post-2307047 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 00:20:20 +0000 PurplePeony 2307047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD will be 22 months in a few days and she shows no signs of wanting to stop...ever. The feeling is not mutual, but I can't bring myself to force her to wean. I originally planned to be done by 15 months (if I made it that long), haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrate-how-long-your-breastfed/page/2#post-2307040 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 23:27:01 +0000 Mrs. Train 2307040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 months with my twins with some formula supplements, 18 months with my daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrate-how-long-your-breastfed/page/2#post-2307031 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 23:17:13 +0000 QBbride 2307031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed my son for 19 months, I only stopped because I was pregnant and it was pretty painful.
