I breastfed my son until he was about 12 months old and he weaned himself and my daughter weaned herself at about 9 months although I wasn't ready to give it up yet!

I have been breastfeeding one child or another for over seven consecutive years now. Ds #3 is only 7 months old so my milk glands will be going strong for another few years still ...

Well, Danica weaned herself around 14 months and I'm hoping Katie will do the same. Right now I figure we'll just keep with the nursing as long as she wants it, but I may change my mind as she gets older...

My original plan was to bf until she was able to have homo milk (10mths). I didn't want to do the formula (personal thing).

But, now, I am thinking I will do it until she is at least a year old. I too love it, there is something about her satisfied face while she is feeding and when she is done that just gets me.

Hey Ladies,

Just curious how long everyone is breastfeeding.

My son is 7 months and were still going strong. When we came home from the hospital I was hoping to hang in there until he was 3 weeks. It's amazing how time flys. I really love it and can't imagine giving it up. I think I'll BF until he's a year...that's when I go back to work but maybe I'll keep a feeding or two!
