A breastfeeding poll. Because I'm curious.

[TrudyCampbell]

Did I forget any options?

[dbe100408]

EBF still. Hoping to make it the full first year.

[Deleted]

Me too. Will go a year or maybe more if he wants.

[thedahliharpa]

EPing would be an option?

Good call.

[TrudyCampbell]

I can't figure out how to edit it! I am sorry EPers!!!

[silverjm]

Yeah, I EP, but he's getting all BM.

[carawestt]

EBF and will go as long as he wants to, up to probably 2 years.

[rxbeth]

I picked EBF despite the fact that Madison did receive formula (in addition to nursing) for the first 3 days because of her low sugar. I didn't feel like being a special snowflake today.

I'm hoping to nurse until a year (or more?)

I started out bf with no intentions of ff. But, my supply was all out of whack and he was loosing weight. I continued for the first 2.5 months but they just ended up drying up completely and he was not wanting to latch after getting the bottle. It was either my 3 day long induction with all the chemicals that screwed it up, or my boob job. Probably both. I really hope to go longer next time or not have to supplement so soon. I will try my very hardest!

[eav2c]

I can't see the poll. I EBF. I plan to go till C weans. Hopefully make it to 2 years or so?

[dixeedeluxe]

I voted "never breastfed this baby", but that's not the whole truth. It's what I tell people, though, because I never gave it much effort.

She had the boob in the hospital. She got expressed milk for about a month while I VERY slowly dried myself up.

[jaime183]

I EP now but hes only had BM. We nursed for a few months while he had slow gaining issues (so I had to nurse, then pump, then give him a bottle- so we switched to EP)

[Deleted]

I never attempted to BF. Its just something that wasn't a big deal to me. I also had a breast reduction several years ago and I think that would not have allowed me to anyway. They great thing for me with FF is that DH alternated feedings with me.

[mamasaurus]

Still EBF and planning for her to wean at her own pace, whatever that may be.

[vthokie]

I picked supplement, but she's still basically BM only. She has formula at daycare because my supply has dropped, and sometimes she wants an extra bottle, but she doesn't have one often. I also keep it around the house in case I'm out. I don't want DH in the stash because it's so low. I'd rather send that the daycare since it's what she gets mostly. She may get a formula bottle 2 or 3 times a month.

Started out BFing, but had to supplement early on. I plan to do the same next baby too....unless I can BF without supplementing. In hindsight from reading here, I think I gave it up too easily. I will pump more next time if that helps.

[skiesthelimit]

I EBF plus solids.

[monkeybabe]

Boob only. I plan to BF until 2, if not longer. We'll reevaluate then.

[Deleted]

EBF plus solids. She gets a bottle while I'm at work but hates it so she only takes a few ounces. I Will go as long as she wants, although I may stop pumping at work after a year. I'd like to keep morning and night session (and naps if she wants) til at least 18 months

[bean47]

I have to supplement since going back to work. I try to pump after daytime feedings but my supply still is low.

[creamsiclechica]

We still EBF, and the plan is to go as long as she wants to go. That was not my original intention pre-baby, I used to be weirded out by extended breastfeeding, mostly because of family/friend pressure. Now, I don't care. As long as I produce and she still wants, I can't imagine ever giving it up.

[maccalovah]

I started out pumping and supplementing. Still doing that, but my supply is getting low now. I plan to keep pumping until her first birthday. Not gonna lie, I am excited to stop....

[Dorothy Zbornak]

EBF until Butterbaby weans.

Sent from the future.

[lauranicole91]

Still going. Sometimes I worry about her lack of interest but I just keep on truckin'. I will have to stop pumping at work at a year though. I feel like my supervisors are counting down the days. Who knows what will happen after that...

[mscatra]

I EP, but I voted I "exclusively BF and have since the beginning".

[dojo]

:-[Ss. I had to supplement with formula in the beginning but it was only for about a week. I've exclusively breasted since. I'm going to start to wean next month and be done by one year.

[The Foozzler]

I EBF for 7 months. Now I Exclusively FF with the occasional little bit of BM from the small amount in the freezer. My pumping was not even close to his demand so I decided to be done pumping by the time I went back to work from Christmas break. Today will be my first day at work not pumping.

[bebeetmoi]

EBF here as well. Will go until a little over 1 year since we are TTC. I get severe anxiety thinking about weaning her

[ashleydl83]

I was EBF until about a month ago. I had a drop in supply and have been working on getting it back up. I will hopefully be back to it soon. It makes me sad.
