How long have you breastfed all your children for, in total?

I was just wondering how long I would end I would end up breast feeding for in total.

It was be at least 4-5 years.

I figured there would be people on here with a lot more breast feeding years under their belt and wondered how many years there were.

Continuously for 5 years to date and still going. Planning to stop this year though.

5 weeks - 2 DC. Still proud though. Was hoping for longer but it wasn't to be.

1 year and 2 months. 3 dc, absolutely loathed breastfeeding from start to finish each and every time and only did it through sheer laziness. If I ever had a 4th child (which I won’t) I wouldn’t breastfeed again!
