How many months do you plan on breastfeeding for?

Question

With me almost going back to work, raising a toddler plus newborn, and my baby not getting enough milk from breasts and from the pump.
I see myself breastfeeding for 3-4 months. 
What about you ? And why?
I wish I can go for a year but I don’t see this lasting long. Baby gets so frustrated with me and my lack of milk.

Answer

My goal is to breastfeed for 6 months & then switch to pumping into a bottle until my LO is one

Answer

I am taking the 18month mat leave, and I have a 3 yr old and a 6 week old baby.   I will be ebf  my little one (assuming she’s allows it) for the year. Likely not longer then the year though.  I Bf my oldest until she was 11months almost 12months (I returned to work) and we had a seamless transition she never asked to nurse again after we stopped.

Answer

FTM and I’m undecided😩

Answer

Hoping for 15 months or so like I did with my first 🤗

Answer

My goal is 6 months but my supply hasn’t really increased even with everything I have attempted. My son eats a lot and I can’t keep up! I just don’t see how I can pump and breast feed while working a full time job and then taking care of a toddler when I’m home from work. I plan on at-least pumping at work to give him some but have also been supplementing with formula. He’s gaining weight very well and has been thriving so I’ll just keep trying a bit longer.

Answer

I want to go at least 12 months. 
But I am lucky that I make enough breastmilk to EBF.

Answer

At least 2 years.

Answer

2 years if all goes well

Answer

I did IVF and plan on doing another transfer when my son is 12 months- so my goal is to breastfeed until around 10-12months. You aren’t suppose to be breastfeeding when they do a transfer.

Answer

I have breastfed 2 out of 3 kids for over 12mo the. The third babe was a preemie with reflux and allergies and we switched to formula at 3 months after figuring it out. 
This babe was a preemie and has reflux so I’m exclusively pumping again but I have a great supply and I have cut all allergens from my diet so I think I can make it to 10-11 months exclusively pumping and I have over 500oz of breast milk frozen that I’ll give him the last couple months. Hope I can do it!
