How many years plus months have you been nursing straight through? : )

[Ahappymel]

I thought this would be fun (spin-off idea from another thread).
For those of us who have done CLW, who have nursed consecutive children straight through, or tandem-nursed....
How many consecutives years plus months have you been breastfeeding?

I've done 8 yrs, 2 months straight now

[woodchick]

We're at 3 years, 5months. Tandom for 8months.

Nothing like 8, but we're getting there

[seashells]

Only 1 kid, 4 years and 2 months so far.

I have a cousin who has been nursing something like 10 years straight (spread among 4 kids I think - it's a second cousin and I've only met her maybe twice in my life, lol).

5y3m
ds1 weaned a year ago and twin ds's are 2y2m and still going strong

[Daisie125]

My youngest just weaned due to colostrum (she says it's icky ) but I had nursed for 3 years, 6.5 months when she weaned, and of course I'll be picking back up as soon as this baby is born (and hopefully DD will unwean too )

On Monday it will be 5 years and 2 months. 39 months of that has been tandem nursing and about 4-5 of those months (don't remember exactly how many) was triandem nursing.

Coming up on five, with 18 months tandem.

You guys are all doing do great! This thread is inspirational for me; thank you. :-) I've got one dd and we're at 3 years, 10 months now. We love noo-noo time. She says, "I need noo-noo toime!" like she's from NYC. :-p

[pinky]

8 years, 5 months!

[ewe+lamb]

7.5 years with 18 months tandem! Goodness it seems a long time written out like that - but it doesn't feel it at all!!

LOL
My first asked for "NURSIES!" so I thought I'd be a little more subtle this time and teach the 2nd to just ask for "MILK". I figured any kid can ask for milk in public and no one bats an eye, right?
Well, my youngest has outwitted me. He asks for milk alright...."MAMA'S MILK!" In a very loud, demanding voice I might add

I agree that you ladies are all AMAZING! I have a special brand of respect for the tandem nurses....that I only did for a very short time because the oldest stopped. I cannot imagine nursing two at the same time.

[mysticmomma]

5 years exactly, tandem for 2 years 8 months.

It will be 4 years and 3 months on the 19th. DD is is still going strong DS gave it up a few months ago.

[sparklett]

Holy cow mamas!!! Awesome!

I only have one child, but we've been going strong for 2 years, 6 months. We'll keep going until he's ready to quit. It gets funnier as he gets older- right now he calls it his "tummy yummies".

Edited/updated:  As of April 2011, it'll be 3y 11mos for us!  Wow.

Edited again!  Here we are in August 2011 and we're still going strong.  4 years 3 months.  That includes nursing through a pregnancy and miscarriage, 150 pounds of weight loss, training for a marathon, and so, so much more!

Thanks so much for this thread! Often I can't find info that I have company in nursing even beyond 2 years old.
