[quote=Anonymous]20 months with first kid. Nursing was pretty easy despite full-term baby spending first few days in the NICU. The first 2-3 weeks were exhusting with the constant nursing, but the actual act of breastfeeding wasn't hard. Period came back around 5 months despite nursing/pumping frequently. Was only nursing mornings and evenings by 13 months and then down to just once a day for the last few months. Still going strong with second kid at 16 months (nursing 2-3x a day) despite a rough start. Kid loved breastfeeding but had a bad latch and mild tongue-tie which likely contributed to supply issues. It took about 6 weeks of pumping after every feeding and supplementing with formula (at first) and then expressed breast milk before things were easy, though. I'm not sure I would have stuck it out if I hadn't had such a easy time the first time. Period came back around 4 months.[/quote]
