In the last thread.....Princess Donna announced that her youngest is now weaned.....and she has accumulated 63 months (5 years 3 months) of nursing her children!
Wow.....
Are you going to have a weaning feast/party like Abraham Donna?

Hello.
Let's see ... so far I have nursed 9 months, 2 weeks and 1 day. Doesn't sound nearly as impressive, but I'm proud of my hard work thus far. Especially when I have nights where she sleeps latched on and that I'm pumping part time and haven't had to supplement with formula more than about 2 bottles the entire time.
Donna, I have a question that I never thought to ask before. How did the hysterectomy affect your milk supply? Did it?

I think it sounds very impressive!!!! 
Thanks.
And to add to part of the discussion that I missed recently ...... the only time I've leaked was the day after my milk came in. I woke up in a super crusty t-shirt. That day we went to Target and bought some of the pads and a couple more nursing bras so I can wear one to bed. Never really leaked after that, but would drip onto the pad quite a bit. The pads came in very useful when Audrey and I were passing thrush back and forth for a month too. I could apply the meds and then put the pad on so my bra didn't get all yucky.

Erin..you should get extra Kudos..you and tea tea...you both faced enormous odds in getting baby to nurse...and won!
Since everyone is posting total time nursing...I'll do it too..
Firstborn 18 months
Second born 30 months
third born 44 months
fourth born 48 months
Fifth born 36 months
for a total of 176 months (or 14 2/3 years).
And I am due in May...so will be adding to that total. Granted...it took 5 kids to get that number.....
and any amount is something to be applauded...from 6 weeks to however long......

Oh my Ruth, I think I'd have a dairy day if I were you.
Cheese, Ice Cream, Pizza, pudding.. everything that I could find with dairy in it.
We did 18 months with Isabel and however long the next ones wants is fine with me!!
I am tempted to ask my stepmom, mom to 7, how long total she's nursed but I think I might pass out !!

Nope, not at all. She nursed about an hour after the surgery, and kept right on going. 
Christine, that is an awesome amount of time, especially for a first baby of a working mom! Great job!!!!
WOF...wow. Just wow. LOL

I think I'll win for the shortest time(for now)! Josh - 2 days then he wouldn't latch and I pumped for 9 months (some formula at the beginning and increasing amounts from 6-9 mo). Beth - 1 month, 2 days and counting! She took to it like a champ in the recovery room and hasn't looked back since. We've had some ups and downs but all in all things are going VERY well.
I leak a lot. With Josh I didn't stop leaking until my milk nearly ran dry. When Beth was 3 days old I had to send Mark to target to buy breast pads because I was soaking my bras and gowns in the hospital. Can I just suggest having all your breastfeeding supplies in the house ahead of time? Poor guy spent 15 minutes in the feminine hygiene department before he called me to ask where they were!

Well I wasn't going to post since we are done nursing, but what the heck, why not?
#1 8ish weeks
#2 12ish weeks
#3 12ish weeks
#4 8 months
I think if I hadn't gotten pregnant we'd probably be still nursing. But to be honest, I'm relieved to be done for now and I am looking forward to the next baby.

Too cool Sarah!
We've all nursed longer than most of us have been alive (I will be 41 this months...so even I am younger than our cumulative years of nursing).

I nursed Gabe and Zion both 6 months each and Gideon 13 - 14 months, so that puts us over the 50 year mark. :)
Hoping to go at least a year with this one also.
