Who is still breastfeeding? Are you EBF or are you also supplementing with formula. If you have stopped breastfeeding what caused you to stop? Did baby have trouble latching or something else? If you are still breastfeeding, how long do you plan on breastfeeding?
I am still EBF and we are doing really good. Jacob is doing great taking either a bottle or the boob, although he still prefers the boob. He has always been such a great nurser which I am so thankful for. I am still enjoying breastfeeding and love looking down into that sweet little face. I am planning on hopefully breastfeeding as long as Jacob wants to. I weaned Jackson at 13 months but he always preferred the bottle to the boob so he was ready to wean.

We're still EBF as well. I plan to continue as long as she wants to.
We did have some difficulty for a couple of weeks where Kira would get angry and pull off the boob constantly. It's finally better now; I think it was a combination of my paying better attention to her cues and her just working through a phase/growth spurt.
I am! Due to my low supply I still have to supplement with formula. We had quite a difficult time with his latch so I pump and bottle feed while slowly adding in nursing sessions. I will continue to pump/nurse as long as possible.
Still EBF here. My goal is only about 6 months, which is when I stopped the first time though karmen weaned herself. She preferred the bottle. We will see.

We are still doing good. he hates the bottle and we still have not found one he doesnt choke on.
I will BF as long as he wants, I hope until 2 or later like Madison did.
EBF here, and 90% boob. Every once in a while we do a bottle now, when we are going to a picnic and there is no easy way to BF. I plan to go as long as he wants to, we'll see what happens.
EBF. I will let her wean herself and I'll help her if she has a nursing strike work through that until she's done for good. Grady nursed 22 months so we will see what she does. It's up to her.
We're still EBF (not even a bottle of pumped milk because mommy is too lazy to pump!) I plan to go as long as he wants to nurse and I want to nurse him, at least 12 months. Allison went for 21 months and only weaned because I was pregnant with JR and it was too painful for me to continue.
I didn't nurse because I went right back on medication. But now that I'm doing okay since recently stopping that medication I'm wishing I could try. As far as I know I've dried up. Is it possible to relactate? I'm going to read up on it. Not sure if it's for us but it might be worth a shot. He's 11 weeks this week.

EBF here and Jax is 5 weeks. We've introduced the bottle because I will be going back to work Aug 6. The plan is to pump and still do all breast milk. I would like to keep BFing for a year. Most likely I will wean then because I started really missing having my body to myself and having a little more freedom.
i made it to my goal of one month. i wasn't producing enough, and i take meds and my babes was always sleeping.. had to wake her up to get her to feed. so, we are on formula now...and i worry a lot less.
I am still bf'ing Kaelan as well as supplementing with formula.. I had a huge problem with supply and him not putting on weight etc... So I feed him every few hours.. if he still seems hungry after I feed and I feel like there is nothing left in me, I top him up with formula... If he seems content most of the day I tend to try to get at least 1 bottle of formula into him a day just for his weight gain..
This system seems to work for us.. I am still on medication to increase my supply though, it helps a bit..
Im EBF Layla, 6 weeks tomorrow! we do 1 bottle of pumped milk a day so shes used to it when i go back to work. Id like to do 1yr at least so im hoping pumping at work will work out.

Brandy I'm not sure if it is possible or not. You might check with your dr and see what they say. Glad your doing okay since stopping your medication.
