What are your breastfeeding plans?

[asacia]

Just curious really! What are your hopes and plans for breastfeeding?

I'm hoping to breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months. I want to continue breastfeeding for aslong as LO wants, hopefully till two. I want to let him self-wean. I want to only offer EBM occasionally in a cup. I think I might cook with EBM, and would like to use it on cereal till he is at least two.

 

[Mervs Mum]

Minimum 12 months and self wean. I cooked with EBM till 6 months then normal full fat cows milk....too lazy and busy to pump these days.

I will BF as close to 1 year as I can (dependent on Oliver of course!), then he can wean when he likes. I go back to work though at 11 1/2 months, so may have to go to EBM. We'll see.

I am just going to let him self-wean.

I have no choice now

I love BF so does she, so we'll see how we go! x

I hope to bf and express for as long as possible. Up to a year at least. Maybe even 2yrs. Planning to feed on demand and allow bubs to self wean. I will prob cook with ebm also.

 

[Rach276]

We will feed until he doesnt want to anymore.

I originally said 3 months and I did that, then 4, now I still love it so I am gonna go to 6 months! Yes sometimes I want my body back, not stinking of milk nd leaking but I still love feeding Caine and he loves it too!! Its also soooo easy.

My LO is 9 months, I hope to continue BF till she is 3 or 4 or till she wants to stop.

 

[jms895]

Go BF Mommas!

my little boy decided one day he didnt want to breast feed anymore - he was 18 months so I was happy he self weaned, plan to do the same with scarlett and ill use ebm til a year and then use cows milk. I also will bf til 6 months, its so great to see them get so chubby from just you!

I'm going to let Harley self wean and i am in no rush as we both love it.

 

[Lara+sam+bump]

I want to BF Noah for 12-18 months, then express for cereals and cooking until my surply dries up or he's 2, which ever comes first. By which time me and OH plan to ttc#2 xxx

 

[Logiebear]

I plan to just go as long as we can. After everything we have been through to get this far I plan on keeping going as long as I can! Let's just take each week as we find it xxx

 

[aidensxmomma]

I would like to BF for a year and then see where it goes from there.

 

[butterflies44]

Im going to breastfeed for 6-7 months, then take her off as soon as possible. I have friends who had such a hard time weening their children off, their children got a little old, and they still wanted breast milk, I dont want that to hapen to me.

At the moment im planning to breastfeed exclusively for 6 weeks then im hoping to combine feed. Keeping my options open though.
