EPers: When are you going to stop & why?

[anj_rn]

So I bacame an EPer after my DD had a brain injury at 4 months.  She is just now turning two and after 20 months of EPing, I have just stopped pumping.  I am feeling very sad about it, and questioning my decision now.  I am wondering what the other EPers out there are doing.

I am on my 11th month of pumping for my 16 month old who stopped BFing at 5 months. I have had many supply issues and ended up on dom. I have not had a period since DD was born and my ultimate goal is to make it a year but I have been thinking about stopping EPing at 18 or 20 months so I can regain a period and we can start TTC number 2.

I question myself every day on whether to stop or not... my DD is still not on solids completely and we are working on it everyday to try and get her to grasp the concept of chewing then just licking or wanting a bottle, but I refused to give up pumping until she is on majority of solids....

I am on my 14 month of pumping for my daughter. I have always pumped not by choice. I am trying to hold out until she starts taking solids but she is the same as your baby. She doesn't chew. She hates different textures. She hates soft textures so no baby food, mashed potatoes etc. It has been a battle to get her to eat at all. How do I take her milk when she eats nothing? People say just take it and give her cow's milk...are you kidding? I get so sick of people and their comments/looks. BTW my daughter has severe acid reflux & takes prevacid 2 times a day. We just recently started therapy with a speech pathologist. She did finally eat some chicken!! A start is a start.
