66 months or 5.5 years total breastfeeding 3 kids.

My 3rd baby is down to twice a day at 2 years old, and close to weaning completely.

I've breastfed a total of 66 months, or 5.5 years over 3 babies. I wish I had this sub when I had my first baby, it would have been such a help! I struggled with oversupply, forceful letdown andsore nipples, it was really hard but we got through the newborn phase and by 2 months it got better. Breastfed him until 23 months, and my second to 19 months.

r/breastfeeding is such a bright spot with the supportiveness and inclusiveness for everyone's different circumstances and the wealth of information shared. It is time for me to leave this sub, I wish you all luck with your breastfeeding journeys!

Crazy when you look at it that way. My wife has either been pregnant or breastfeeding, or both, since July of 2016. Women are truly the baddest mfers on this planet! Change my mind

Out of the last 13 years, I have been pregnant or breastfeeding for 10 of them (4 children).

I’m almost to seven years straight, I feel this emotionally too. My youngest only nurses a couple times now.

Awesome! I breastfed my first for 2.5 years and now with my second baby he’s almost 3 months but plan to go 2 years! So difficult at first but sad when it’s over!! Breastfeeding is amazing!!

And just think of how much money you've saved on botox!

Botox providers don't let you get botox when you are breastfeeding (it's totally irrational).
