Congrats to all of you - I had no supply so we only made it 7 weeks, but I am proud of that since it was so hard on me and nothing really ever came in.

Woot!



Got me beat by a day!!!! DS couldn't latch on for anything... Pumped for a couple of weeks. But the poor kid had severe allergies and had to go on hypoallergenic formula...Chat Icon

EBF until he self weaned at 15 months (I was 2 months pregnant at the time, which may have played a part). And from 6weeks to 12.5 months, I completely eliminated all dairy (including hidden) from my diet due to his milk allergy. With this baby, I plan to EBF until he/she self weans as well!



This inspires me! I'm EBFing DD who's 8 weeks today and have been completely milk free (hidden too) for 2 weeks now bc DD has an allergy and at times I wonder how long I can keep the diet up, but I'm going to take it 1month at a time! Hoping for at least 4 months!

DS1 EBF/pumped for 7 months.

DS2 EBF right now. I hope to do the same as above. My EBF goal.is 6 months or longer but I would like to have a bigger freezer stash.

I would have gone much longer with DS1 EBF/pump but the pump was my worst enemy. Chat Icon

Re: It's World Breastfeeding Week- what's your success story?

ladies, these are all wonderful stories! everyone should be so proud of themselves! breastfeeding is no easy feat.

i'd like to give a round of applause to everyone from the lady who bf'ed for 11 days to the woman whoEBF breastfed all 5 of her kids!
