LO is 7 months old, so I've still got 5 months of pumping ahead of me. Wahhh that seems like an eternity! I love nursing, but pumping is a PITA. EPers are my heroes!
How much longer until you plan to quit?

I think in a month maybe. She'll be --yikes-- 18 months. I only pump at work.

I think just a couple weeks...eek! I'm SAH at the moment, but DH does bedtime and gives dd 5 oz of pumped milk. So I only pump 2x/day. I currently have 225oz in the freezer, which is enough for six weeks and will take us to her birthday. OMG. I can't believe we've come this far!

I hope to quit pumping in 3.5 months???? DS is 7.5 months and I have ~700oz in my freezer stash so I'm hoping I can quit pumping when he's about 11 months to start introducing him to WCM mixed with my freezer stash. It'll be nice to wear shirts that I don't have to think twice about if they're nursing friendly or not.

I've thought about but I can't get myself to stop yet. Maybe next month!

I EP and am one week away from making my 6month goal. After that I'll just take it week by week and quit when I get too sick of it!
I thought I was done a few weeks ago when I got the flu but my supply magically came back...bittersweet , haha

I'm soooooooooooooo sick of pumping at work too! LO is 7 months. I'll keep pumping though until she quits nursing, cause I love that.

LO is 5.5 months so I've got 28 weeks left, haha I just set up the pump and was thinking about that.

EPer over here and DD is 8mo tomorrow. I'm still doing 2ppd and making enough, with thousands of ounces in the freezer so I'm actually thinking of dropping another pump and have her start going through the frozen stash, which should last until she's a year old (well, I hope).

I'm half way done pumping! I'm at 6months, so I'm hoping to get enough food to get him to 1 year. I hope I can build up my stash enough to end early, but at this point that's not happening.

Seven months. WAHHHH. My freezer stash is pitifully small, so I pretty much have to pump. I guess it's okay. It's a nice break in my day.

So jealous of those of you done so soon! I've got 3 months left to make it to my goal of a year....I EP so it's been a LONG 9 months.

@lawbee11: I have less than 2 months to go! eek! LO turns 1 on April 18 and we go out of town for a few days on April 28th. Hopefully weaning is easy? The thought stresses me out ...

@JoJoGirl: hey! I like the idea of thinking weeks instead if months.
12 weeks.
Holy shit 12 weeks until I have a 1 y/o???

Any day now. Like today maybe. I'm getting nothing (thanks, period!), LO is already one. I'm just waiting one week to introduce milk. But I'm on the fence about WCM anyway - so I really don't know what I'm waiting for.

I finished 5 days ago, I just couldn't hang. My original goal was only 6 weeks anyway, I made it 8. Those of you doing this forever are awesome and congrats! The freedom from the pump is amazing though! I didn't realize how much I didn't like it until I stopped completely. I was pumping every 3 hours and I hated having to wake up to pump in order to keep my supply up. I have about 3 weeks worth in the freezer still though.

One month and one week to go! I totally don't have a plan right now though and have no clue how to go about weaning!

I know it's not for everyone, but I never minded pumping and I dreaded the double transition (bm to formula to cows milk) so I EPed until LMW turned one!

2 months or so. LO is almost 9.5 months and I'd like to be phasing out pumping through her 11th month and done by a year, even though we'll hopefully keep nursing when we're together.
