I think i will definitely make it to one year though since i am off work until then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-breastfeed-longer-or-shorter-than-you-expected#post-603747 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:06:38 +0000 Mrs. Bee 603747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i planned for a year and we're 5 days from 17 months. i hope to wean by 18 months because olive doesn't eat enough and throws too many tantrums because she wants to nurse. that is way longer than i ever expected! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-breastfeed-longer-or-shorter-than-you-expected#post-603721 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:04:34 +0000 pinkcupcake 603721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it day by day - bf-ing was so hard for us. We made it to a year and are still going strong :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-breastfeed-longer-or-shorter-than-you-expected#post-603535 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:44:03 +0000 cascademom 603535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're at 6 months right now. It was my initial goal. Next goal is 9 months. I'm taking my goals in chunks since a year seems daunting. I worried about my supply and started MMP to success. I pump at work, so breastfeeding is time consuming from that standpoint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-breastfeed-longer-or-shorter-than-you-expected#post-603534 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:43:57 +0000 Bao 603534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have been happy/thankful to make it to 6 months (met that goal today!!) but my original goal is a year. I would love to make it even longer though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-breastfeed-longer-or-shorter-than-you-expected#post-603533 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:43:39 +0000 anbanan15 603533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I planned for a year.

Or about the same length of time as you always thought?</p> <p>We are three months in so far. My goal before I had LO was a year. I will be so proud if we make it that far. Hopefully my supply will hang around until then! </p>
