She has been given exclusively breastmilk so far. I'm not ready to stop pumping yet.. So I think I may pump for at least a couple more months. I still have a pretty large stash, so I estimate she will get breastmilk until she is 18 months or so.. Maybe longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-get-breastmilk#post-1099353 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 19:06:23 +0000 MrsRcCar 1099353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I EP for 6.5 months and he got his last breast milk bottle around 9 months. I was pretty happy with myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-get-breastmilk#post-1099342 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 19:04:13 +0000 pastemoo 1099342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am surprised by the poll! We are at 16 months and going strong, still on demand. When I work, he doesn't get pumped milk (stopped pumping at 12 months--yay!)--he drinks water or formula.<br /> At two I intend to day wean but not dawn/dusk wean if that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-get-breastmilk#post-1099059 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:52:09 +0000 mrskc 1099059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11 months and still BFing. I really don't know how long he'll want to breastfeed. I predicted 24 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-get-breastmilk#post-1099053 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:49:53 +0000 rawrasaur 1099053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are still going strong at 9.5 months.

We won't be going too much longer. We're down to 1 feed a day now so will probably be another couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-get-breastmilk#post-1098958 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:15:31 +0000 bushelandapeck 1098958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still nursing 3x/day at 13 mos.

But the last several weeks I gave her one bottle of fresh milk and froze the rest.

I will continue to pump until she is transitioned to cow's milk at which point I will nurse morning and night as long as she wants (no longer than 2, I would PREFER to quit at 18 months but she's a boob monster). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-get-breastmilk#post-1098241 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:13:08 +0000 turkeylurkey 1098241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I choose 7-9 months because I BF until 7 months and weaned him by 8 months. But I still have frozen and I try to give him some of that every week. I expect my frozen stash to be gone by Christmas when he is 13 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-get-breastmilk#post-1098235 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:12:09 +0000 dolphin 1098235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months and still going.

He is still nursing 6 times a day.

I just stopped pumping at work! Woo!! So there is no more fresh milk for daycare. I do have a substantial freezer stash, so I'm now sending 1 bag (or about 4 oz.) every day until it runs out. Not sure when we'll fully wean, so that's still up in the air. I know I'm kind of ready to be done but still hope that LO makes the choice so I don't have to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-get-breastmilk#post-1097656 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:26:15 +0000 chopsuey 1097656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Koolbreeze: DD went 28 months too! </p> <p>Just gonna go with the flow with DS and stop when he wants to stop. 9 months today and going strong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-get-breastmilk#post-1097639 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:23:25 +0000 regberadaisy 1097639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: ditto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-get-breastmilk#post-1097610 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:18:16 +0000 mrsjazz 1097610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 17 months and I still nurse 3x a day.
