How long do you plan on breastfeeding.. with poll
soooo...someone asked me today how long I plan to breastfeed....
I figured I'd ask everyone!
And do you plan to solely breastfeed or a combo of pumping and breastfeeding? Or just pumping??

Re: How long do you plan on breastfeeding.. with poll
maybe 3 months? until I go back to work, I guess
I know by law you have to be able to pump in a private area that isn't a bathroom...but I just can't see myself doing that with my job.......

Re: How long do you plan on breastfeeding.. with poll
I get 18 weeks off, so at least 18 weeks... I will try to pump once I go back to work but until I've BTDT I really cant say if that will really work for us... maybe BF and FF at that point

Ideally, I'd like to shoot for a year. I will be home for the first year and would really like to make it the full year between nursing and pumping.

Re: How long do you plan on breastfeeding.. with poll
I BF'd DD until she was 20 months old. At that point, I decided to stop. She was only nursing at night so I decided to see what happened if I didn't offer her the boob. She didn't care - and that was that! I will do the same for any other children that decide to come along!

Re: How long do you plan on breastfeeding.. with poll
I'd love to make it to one year, but I have to go back to work after 12 weeks. So, it all depends on my ability to pump at work, and how much of a supply I'm able to build up in the freezer!

Re: How long do you plan on breastfeeding.. with poll
At least the first 3 months, and then I guess I'll have to see how things go once I have to go back to work. Ideally 6 months or so.

Re: How long do you plan on breastfeeding.. with poll
between 6 and 12 months!!
def not after a year, and most likely if the baby is still taking breast milk between 6 monts and 12 months it will be coming from a bottle and i will be pumping...
pretty much once that kid has teeth if i am still producing milk it will be pumped

Re: How long do you plan on breastfeeding.. with poll
I'm a SAHM and with my first I set a goal of 6 months but was able to make it 2 weeks past his first birthday.
I hope to do the same this time around...but who knows with a 2 year old running around!
