[quote=Anonymous]14 months...I went back to work when DS was four months, I pumped during the day at work, let him BF in the morning, right before bed and on weekends.  He weaned himself on his own.  I'm not one of those women who loved BFing, I thi l you could say I tolerated it although certain aspects were special - the closeness to my son.  But the first few weeks were really tough, I had a hard recovery from an emergency CS and felt like my body had been through hell.  But, once Te first few weeks passed, I got the knack of it and it definitely got easier, much much easier after we introduced solids at 4 months.  I set small realistic goals
For myself in the beginning, I was initially just hoping to get to 6 months, but as each milestone passed I realized it wasn't going to be that much harder to get to one year.  Good luck!!  Be patient with yourself and if you are having difficulty definitely get a good lactation consultant.  For what it is worth, my son has been very healthy, no ear infections, colds etc.    [/quote]
