14.5 months with LO 1, and by then I was pregnant, so it was getting painful. 8 weeks strong with LO 2!

I'm still breastfeeding DS at almost 2.5 and am now breastfeeding DD, 7 weeks. I never stop and let myself be proud of how long I've nursed DS and the fact that I'm now tandem nursing so thank you for this reminder.
Kudos to everyone!

19 months! I had low supply and supplemented her first year. Proud of how far we made it!

Still going at almost 8 months. I don't have a set time of when I'll stop.

9 weeks so far! Anxious about building a stash for when I go back to work. Hoping to bf for at least 6 months, next goal will be 1 year.

Way to go, all!
I am only at 3 months but the first two were AWFUL. I am beyond thrilled that things turned around for us.

I nursed my son for 19 months, I only stopped because I was pregnant and it was pretty painful. The first 3 months were sooooo challenging but it got SO much better after that!

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.

I EP'ed for 8 weeks, but my supply was just pathetic and we supplemented from day 1. 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!!

13 months for both LOs - far exceeding my initial goal of six months!

26 months! I only weaned her because I was pregnant and it hurt, wish we had kept going.

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.

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.
I love breastfeeding -- even the rough patches are good, because they make the sweet moments even better!

I made it to 6-6.5 months? Then I had to start supplementing, and I fully weaned by 9.5 months.

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.
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.
It was hard and exhausting and in hindsight I'm surprised I never quit.

I exclusively pumped for a year. TBH, I felt it was EASIER when I went back to work. And I got a guaranteed break
