Especially those that have made it past a year. I'm not sure I'll make it that far. I'm extremely proud of all of you. Even the ones no longer nursing but tried! I think I'm gonna let DS self wean. Hopefully before I get a job again. If he isn't weaned by then I now know that weaning isn't all that bad. When it comes to teeth I'm still scared but I'm sure I'll live getting bit once or so. Thank you all for responding. :) I'm overjoyed with all the responses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/3#post-1966792 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 00:45:29 +0000 littlejoy 1966792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: I have low supply too ... I wish I could EBF, but I am kind of thankful for the empathy it's taught me. Being gentle with yourself &amp; other moms. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/3#post-1966789 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 00:44:20 +0000 littlejoy 1966789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only got to EBF for 2 weeks. We then had to supplement, but I am still nursing (comfort nursing, mostly) at 11 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/3#post-1966787 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 00:38:18 +0000 PawPrints 1966787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just want to say that I love this thread and you all are seriously inspiring. I would be over the moon if we could make it to 12 months. But I'll probably go back to work when LO is around 6 months old so it's possible I could run into a supply drop at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/3#post-1966773 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 23:52:06 +0000 rrachael 1966773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: thank you :) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/3#post-1965309 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 10:38:29 +0000 stargal 1965309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastfeeding my 2nd lo for three months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/3#post-1965256 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 10:11:10 +0000 nana87 1965256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse my 8 month old, but also supplement a bit due to low supply </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/3#post-1965213 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 09:50:23 +0000 littlebittyhouse 1965213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing at 25 months although during the week it is just bedtime and then on the weekends it is nap and bedtime.

It is a long time. I hadn't really thought about it that much until last night. Ha ha.</p> <p>How often Lorelei nurses depends on the day. Most of the time if we are out and doing something fun, she will not nurse at all until we're home (or at least in the car getting ready to go home). So on a busy day, I would say 3 times (not including a couple during the night as we still bedshare). On slower days she nurses maybe 5-8 times? I guess my peace with extended nursing is that I try to not refuse, but starting around age two have gently explained and enforced some limits (like if we're in public my shirt has to be covering my breast so it's more private, we will try to find a quiet place, she can do toddler nursing acrobatics; if we're at home, if I feel tapped-out I might tell her something like, "We can nurse for one more story. Then let's get up and see what's for breakfast!"). I haven't encountered too much pushback on those: she is generally very respectful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/3#post-1965098 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 08:37:50 +0000 Ree723 1965098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still EBF + two meals of solids per day for my nearly 10 month old DD2.

We still breastfeed 5x a day, and I'll take his lead when he is ready to wean.

He was EBF til 6 months. Plan to stop at a year, if not sooner. Still going now mostly because we're flying long haul over the christmas break and I don't want to have to bother with too much formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/2#post-1964992 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 01:03:48 +0000 birdofafeather 1964992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rrachael: Total threadjack to say: yayay!!

All better now though.<br /> @MrsRcCar: we call DS a boobie monster too! :)<br /> @Aandmklover: DD would only take Tommee Tippee but DS doesn't like any bottles. I've tried 6 different brands of bottles.<br /> @mrskc: sounds like a pretty easy transition. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/2#post-1964988 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:53:56 +0000 mrskc 1964988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings: I got pregnant and dried up. But he still wanted to dry nurse. We were down to just nursing before nap. I started giving him a bottle of warm milk and he never asked to nurse after that. It was an easy transition but then we had to deal with bottle weaning. It wasn't that bad tho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/2#post-1964980 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:37:28 +0000 Aandmklover 1964980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings:<br /> DS 1 would take a bottle no problem- tommee tippee brand<br /> DS 2 never takes a bottle. We have tried 3 different kinds starting at 2 weeks and he's refused all of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-breast-feeds/page/2#post-1964979 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:35:24 +0000 MrsRcCar 1964979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings: E has almost 8 teeth.
