Just wondering how long everyone would like to breatfeed for ideally?

I love it so much, I can't imagine ever stopping (I will of course lol)!
 
I would of loved too do atleast 6 months. I loved it but sadly stopped when my LO was 4.5 months x

14 months for me and Isla. I had wound down to so few feeds that she preferred her cows milk over me :( x

Ideally at least 6months, but with shields and no decent latch, I'm trying to to look too far ahead, a week at a time at the moment. Xxx
 
If I didn't stop I would of liked to still be bf now at 19 months. I think until 2 is a nice age and would aim for thy next time.
 
I'm planning on a year but will let Henry decide when enough is enough.
 
Until A doesn't want it anymore. He's 8.5 months and down to 3 feeds a day. I'd imagine that this will drop to 2 in the next few weeks. to at least a year definitely.
 
I'm going to continue until she's 2 or until she doesn't want it anymore. I originally planned 6 months, then 1 year, but as each comes I don't want to stop :D

6 months at least but I would say a year now that month is coming. I'll reduce the feeds as he goes on solids but can't see me getting up out of bed to make a follow on milk bottle when I have perfectly good milk to hand! Pure laziness I know!
 
Until he wants to give up. Hopefully a year would be ideal

I wanted to exclusively breastfeed till 6 months but have jad to add 2 bottles as he wasnt puting on weight, i now plan to bottle feed in the day and just give the night and morning one breast.

6 months ideally if i can establish enough of a supply to keep her happy and put on weight. atm im topping up 2 or 3 feeds a day
 
Awww all you ladies are doing amazingly!

I'm hoping for at least a year too but would love to go longer if he still wants.
 
I'm taking every day as it comes, really proud of myself for doing it! Was thinking of doing it until he gets teeth, or until about 6 months old maybe. Not too sure.
 
1st was 6 m then I decided to start weaning her onto formula at 10 m she self weened of breast on her 1st birthday x
