[pregnantbabyelephant]

when did you stop ?
and why?

im only 6 weeks into bf been thinking about how long im gonna keep doing it ex for
just wondered what your experience where

DD - 7 months.

DS - 2 yrs 2mths. HE self weaned a few weeks ago.

Still going at 18 months.

Do you get the feeling this thread is not very representative of Britain today?

dd - nearly 6 months. Went back to work and started off expressing but it just took too long.
ds - still going at 8 months, will probably stop in a month or two.

Kathy, did you read that survey I linked to?
96.3% of MN respondents were white, 50% had a degree and 56.7% bf exlcusively for 6m.
We are fraeks comapred to the UK at large.

DS was exlc BF until he was 29 weeks, & still bfing at 3 yrs old
