I tryed hard but my first was a spoiled one and never left the breast an never ate ,I was new at it. My second was a bad delivery An I wound up on meds an couldnt. My third got almost 4 months the longest but he was born with a tooth OCH, an another came in at 3 weeks when the third poped at 3 months I gave. LOL Hopefully I'll last longer this go.
My first child I breastfed until he was 8 months would have done it longer but I dried up when I went back to work.With my second child,she was breastfed until 13 months.I'm glad I was able to do it that long.
I was able to nurse until my daughter was almost 17 months, I am going to do it with the next one to. I loved it, till she got a teeth and then it hurt a little when she would bit down.
I breastfed my son for 13 and a half months...it was a wonderful experience and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I'm still nursing my 12 month old, though only once a day. It looks like I might be tandem nursing starting in February, if my 1 year old keeps it up till the baby is born. The "big" baby is working on her 10th tooth and has never been gentle so I find myself less interested in nursing her as I get more sore from the pregnancy.
