Re: How many months did you BF?

I nursed my DD for 8 months and my DS for 2 months. I stopped nursing my DS because he had too many allergies and I couldn't figure out what I was eating to cause the reactions.

5 months and going strong. My goal is to make it at least a year and then see what happens from there.

11.5. I was devestated that I didn't make it to one year but, I had to stop since I got super sick and needed to be on meds. I was crying in the doctors office as she told me I didn't have a choice.. OVER TWO WEEKS!! She thought I was nuts.. looking back.. I was. Chat Icon

2 months. I'm very proud of myself for going that far. I didn't think I'd do it at all.

Chat Icon 10 months
Chat Icon 2 weeks Chat Icon I wanted to BF so badly, but he had an awful latch and it was too much stress with an 18 month-old running around and getting into everything. I pumped until DS was one month. I still have a good freezer stash, but he is strictly on formula now.

Re: How many months did you BF?

About 3 months - though it wasn't exclusive. He never latched well so the BM he got was mostly pumped and then supplemented with formula.

I was never able to pump enough and when I would try to nurse him, he'd either clamp down so hard I thought I might die, or he's just see it coming and scream!Chat Icon I was constantly in pain and I just couldn't take it anymore so when the last time I tried, as soon as I started to whip it out, he cried so hard like I was torturing him, I said forget it.

I had wanted so badly to nurse him for at least 6 months to a year.Chat Icon

None. I never produced a drop of milk with either child. Chat Icon Both my mom and my grandmother were unable to produce milk too, so I guess it's hereditary.

I guess on the upside, I never went through drying up, which I hear is pretty uncomfortable.
