To ask if you breastfed your LO how long did you do so for?

[QueenE27]

I see the WHO advises 2 years and just wondered .......

11 months

Ds till 4 and dd till 3. Who is 2 and beyond.

Dc1: 4.5 years
Dc2: 3 years
Dc3: 5 months (nearly) and counting

17 months

I'm b'ffing dd at the moment, been doing it for four months now and no plans to stop so I'll hopefully still do it when shes two

DC 1 till 5 DCS till 2 and DC3 till 4.

8 months & 7 months respectively.
They both lost interest & were too nosy to see what was going on elsewhere in the room.

2 years for my first (who absolutely refused formula!) And one year with the second who then gave up of his own accord.

Dd1 12 months, ds1 16 months, ds2 18 months

4 years and 3 and a half years

DS1 2 years
DS2 2 years 2 months.

Currently at 17 months. DD is showing no signs of slowing down yet, day or night. I'm going to let her self wean, whenever that may be.

(Years)

Three weeks for both DDs. I literally ran out of milk at that stage each time.

13 months. Just wasn't practical once I got back to work.

16 months

10 months with my first.

Expecting my second and planning to EBF again - maybe shorter, maybe longer.

I stopped first time when it felt right, will do the same again.

15 months so far and no plan to stop anytime soon. I'm fine to carry on for as long as she wants at the moment.

4 and a half months.

DS 7 months, DD 8 months. Once teeth started coming through that was it for me

I breastfed exclusively until 4 months when we introduced solids, then still quite a lot until about 8 or 9 months when I went back to work. I still fed ds once a day most days after that, and definitely remember breastfeeding on his 1st birthday, but by then it was intermittent, maybe once or twice a week. I'd have liked to continue for longer but he completely lost interest eventually. He's 15 months old now and has point-blank refused to feed for a while. Doesn't say no to a roast dinner and dessert though....

1 year
6 months
2 years

Miss c I struggled to read your sentence (my fault, been up since half 4) and for some reason I thought you meant teeth were coming through in your breastmilk.
my toes were literally curling!

14 months, 12 months, 18 months and counting. DC1 & 2 were quite happy to stop, by DC3 is showing no sign of wanting to stop! I hadn't intended to get to 2 at all, but I expect we will now.

Dc1 10 months
DC2 3 months

I struggled through with both because of some still undiagnosed health problems, developed mastitis twice with dc1 and the second time I decided it was time to call it a day. I was very happy breastfeeding dc2 but Had some problems with my colon and bowel that are still being investigated and after a lot of tests and bouts of illness I worried the quality of my milk would suffer, she stopped gaining weight.

I love breastfeeding and wish I could have done it for a lot longer, one of my proudest achievements.
