If you’re a breastfeeding mama, how long do you plan to go for?
I have almost 6 month old twins, EBF, I love every second of it. Even the annoying stressful parts are cherished lol Hoping to go 2 years but I’ll be cool with 18 months at least lol

You got this but its also okay if you decide to “quit” you got them this far. My babe is 5 months and the goal is to try to make it to his first birthday but not gon lie I wanna quit at the 7 month mark

my goal is to just go as long as she wants it, and i just hope im able to do so..i pumped today to give her a bottle while we were at my eye exam and she completely refused it…she used to take bottles when she was first born but it’s been probably 2-3 months since i gave her one and now am nervous

My goal is 1-2 years

I also have almost 6 month old twins and i BF and supplement with donor milk. I've had a rough BF journey and i gave DMER on top of them having tongue and lip ties at the beginning (we got them revised). I only supplement with donor milk when i am especially in a bad place mentally. I cannot tandem feed without feeling suicidal and overstimulated to a great extent. So it's nonstop. My goal is to make it until their first tooth pops through because i don't think i could handle the biting.

I’ve been EBF too, my goal is to reach the 7 month mark and post that any additional day would be a bonus, as that’s when I join back work so I know my supply will drop. I just hope I can still continue with the night feeds till she stops needing night feeds.

When I went back to work at 4 months I basically locked to exclusively pumping. It’s a lot of work, but to me it’s helped put my mind at easy knowing how much she is getting per feed / per day. Also has helped a lot in creating a routine. My goal was to make it to 6 months which is Tuesday, but I’m in a pretty good rhythm, so wonder if I’ll make it to a year maybe?!

Twins !? More power to you. I plan to breastfeed for 1 year and then just giving breastmilk in a bottle until he doesn’t want it anymore lol

I'm planning 2 years, but I at least want to make it to a year or 18 months.

I'm 5month pp and planning to continue as long as I feel it's working for both of us. Once breastfeeding doesn't work for whatever reason I'll continue pumping and hope to do that for at least the first year

I’m hoping for a year. I’m still unsure if I’ll switch to ep after that or not but we shall see
