Savannah 6 weeks. I had a really bad allergic reaction to something, so i had to pump cause i was on cortizone shots. dried me up.

Gabe 3 weeks. i couldnt keep up with him

Chris 4 weeks. I had to stop. It was too draining and i was starting to have ill feelings towards him. so i nipped the bad feelings in the bud so that DH and my mom could get up with him in the middle of the night as well.

I did for 2 yrs with my first son who would never supplement with a bottle...and was hard to wean him. My 2nd child did for a year and stopped on his on at 12 months and liked a bottle. Do it for as long as you can its so good for them!!!!

I did it for a year with both of my girls and I will do it again with the next one we have. I may even go longer. Breastfeeding helped me lose my baby weight and they are only babies for such a short time that I really look back and cherish all the sweet moments I had with my girls when I was breastfeeding them.

both my boys weaned at 18mos.
personally I wouldnt wean my child at 9 mos when they need breastmilk or formula untill atleast 12 mos. why pay for formula for 3 mos when breastmilk is better and free?
