I stopped pumping around 13 months due to horrible output. Now LO is 18 months and we still nurse 2-3x a day with no signs of stopping..........

I stopped pumping at 12 months and breastfed until his second birthday. I was only pumping once a day because I taught college and could go feed him. He also reverse cycled and nursed all night long.

Only a month after I stopped. We were only nursing twice a day anyway and he got formula at daycare with a few BM bottles thrown in. But then he went on a nursing strike and we never recovered. I had a small freezer stash so he still got a bottle of BM a day for about 3 weeks.
ETA: By the time I stopped pumping I was only getting about 4 oz over 2 sessions. Wasn't worth it to me.

I quit pumping at 12 months but I'm only away part time. He drank formula at daycare for a few months and now he just drinks water and on a rare occasion cow milk. He's 17 months and still nursing.

I stopped pumping with DD at 12m but continued to BF until 14m. I stopped pumping last Friday and DS (14m) continues to BF 2-3x per day with not indication of wanting to stop anytime soon.
