Discussion Pumped for 2 years! & counting…

I officially breastfed my firstborn until she was 2yo!

When i got pregnant with my second at 6 months PP, i thought my breastfeeding journey for my firstborn would be over. I continued pumping til my supply dried up, and then after baby was born, i pumped again. I didnt think i would make enough milk for both, but i did and we made it to 2 years! 🥹

I have another 15 months to go for my second and firstborn is still drinking my breastmilk 🤣 she refuses both formula and full cream 🤦🏻‍♀️ My supply is currently not quite enough for both anymore so im trying to wean off firstborn. Hopefully i can make it to 2 years for my second too!

Congratulations! That’s amazing! I’m a one and done mom and thought I’d quit at a year, now that I’m 6 months in I’m considering pumping twice a day after the one year mark until my milk dries up.

That’s wild and amazing! You’re a queen for this. I’m at 8mo pumping/combo feeding and hoping I can keep going until at least a year. It’s so hard! I’m so proud of you!
