How long did you breastfeed til?

[GimmeDaBoobehz]

Including mixed feeding, if you did it.

Just curious really.

Can mention all those you have BF'd.

I am at 8 months so far and as long as she doesn't start biting, I'm hoping I can get another 3 or 4 months in.

Sorry, being nosy.

[bumpybecky]

dd1 13 months
dd2 8 months (she stopped, suspect now it was a strike and she'd have started again if I'd offered but didn't know any better at the time)
dd3 22 months
ds 26 months

[Tractorandtree]

Ds1 18mths
Ds2 19mths and still going, prob will stop by the time he's 2

[DrMcDreamysWife]

Still going at nearly 15 months. Although not in the day- just an all night buffet!

[TheUnstoppableWindmill]

Currently at 17 months. Started mix feeding at 10 months and it hasn't interfered at all. We're on 2 a day at the mo (morning/late afternoon or after nursery) but occasionally have an extra or skip one. I'm planning to continue until DS self-weans (given the strength of will he has now I have no idea how I would get him to stop in any case!)

[GreenShadow]

DS1 12 months
DS2 just under 2 years
DS3 about 3 years - but only occasional evenings by the end

[Theincidental]

Ds 26 months. Was excellent and only 2 feeds a day from 18 mths onwards, but so useful when he was poorly or needed calming.

[TheUnstoppableWindmill]

Oh and you can stop the biting if they start- that doesn't have to be the end of it!

[JoinTheDots]

About 2.5 years, a little more maybe.

DS1 - 21 months (EBF)
DS2 - 26 months (EBF)

[jungletoes]

34 months and 38 months

[asandwichshort]

1st 11 months,2nd 12 months then 13 months for last one. They all tried the biting mostly with a gleam in the eye a sharp NO!!! usually gave them enough of a shock to stop!!

[Bootoyou2]

21m

[Taffeta]

My DC are 7 and 10 yo now.

I ebf each for 8 months, until the biting started.

[Zappo]

Not as long as a couple on Mumsnet (I'm sure they'll be on soon) but a lot longer than most

5.5 years (including tandem feeding for 3 years)

[Mintyy]

12 months dd (pfb)
About 9-10 months ds (second child)

[UpsideRaspberryAround]

11 months this time so far, never intended to, but she just looks so so content I wouldn't have the heart to deprive her

[tipp2chicago]

13 months. It was stressing me out too much by the end so I gave up. I'm glad I fed her for as long as I did but equally glad I stopped when I did.

[AuditAngel]

DS 8 months, but after that he didn't have much milk, night feeds stopped very soon after BFing!

DD1 5 months, was struggling with supply and going back to work

DD2 about 3 months EBF then about 6 weeks more mixed feeding although I was back at work.

[JugglingFromHereToThere]

dd - 4.6yrs
ds - 6yrs

Do I win?

(they still didn't self-wean BTW - dd had a sticker chart - a Christmas tree to add baubles to - and with ds I went away for a few days hols with a friend - to the Lakes since you ask!)

[Mouldypineapple]

Dd1 - 1 year
Dd2 - 3 years and 3 weeks! And sometimes regret giving up too. Was my decision and I know Dd would happily carry on even though we stopped nearly a year ago!

[PicardyThird]

dc1 - four and a half years
dc2 - three years

Two and a bit years of that was tandem feeding. The end in each case was a combination of interest gradually tailing off and me giving them a little push in the right direction.

[Catmint]

8 months. We seemed to both want to stop at the same time, and I went back to work full time, coincided with teeth...various factors really. I was a bit sad but it was right for us.

[Zappo]

"Do I win?"

Close but I know someone on Mumsnet who fed a year or two longer.

I'm aiming to convince my DD to give up by 6. She said she will when her teeth fall out (I so wish she'd self wean).

[Its0kToBeMe]

Quite early, about 2mths. This was maybe due to dd and ds never latching on and me using a breast pump until I ran dry.

[tweetytwat]

DC1 13 weeks. I struggled and gave up really.
DC2 2 years and a bit. Struggled for different reasons but had great support - from here - that made a vast difference
