Mine went about 6 months and then formula became too convienent. She was back at work around 10 weeks and pumping got harder and harder to keep up. I'd consider up to a year normal based on nutritional value alone. After that it seems like there isn't much benefit medically.

However... I work with some liberal hippies who all think Im terrible for using formula at all. They have 2-3 year olds still suckin the tit daily. I know some of their husbands and now I can't look at them the same for allowing this. Am I an a-hole for looking down on these people or is it just crazy for a kid to be able to ask for a tit.

Mine breastfed for a year, but she doesn't work outside the home.

They're looking down at you so y'all are equal in those regards. Not an a-hole IMO.

The people who try to push you to their style of child-feeding drive me nuts, especially when I know they don't know the least bit what they're talking about. You do what you can for your kid and leave it at that.

5 months. Between work, school and general stress, the well dried up before she wanted it to.

Started formula at 5 months and just switched to whole milk at 1 year.

And frick cleaning those breast pump parts, frick them.

Technically my kid breast fed for about 2 days.

Apparently my wifes tits werent pumping the milk out at high speed, so she had to pump and freeze then feed by bottle.

Two or three weeks. Child had a severe milk protein allergy so we had to switch him to formula. But not just any formula - it was some special stuff for milk protein allergies that cost a fortune.

This cracked me up. Obviously a joke, but I hate it when parents use months to tell the age of their kid when it gets to over a year.

Our first one my wife breast fed for about 3 months but we supplemented with formula after the first month

he got nothing but formula after 3 months and he's turned out perfectly fine (switched to whole milk at a year)

This latest one has been on nothing but the tit since birth (4 months) but my wife works from home so she's able to do it, but i told her that if the baby is old enough to walk to her boob its time to stop and she tends to agree
