3 months exclusive bf, then another 3 doing a combo of bf, pumping, and formula. Once I was back to work, we kinda just went with whatever was on hand.

I still am but only 2-3 times a day. From 10.5-12 months we had to supplement with formula because my stash was gone and I couldn't pump enough.
DS nurses in the morning before daycare, sometimes when we get home from daycare, and always before bed at night. Occasionally, nights like tonight he will throw in extra and nurse in the MOTN after a long screamfest that mommy can stand listening to for longer than 25 minutes.
We still are breastfeeding, once per day when she wakes up. I'll keep that going until one of us no longer wants to. We EBF from birth to one year, when she started wcm.
EBF since birth until about 11.5 months when we started combining bm with WCM. Now we're on 3 sippys of WCM a day and 2x nursing (morning and bedtime). We'll continue with the morning/night nursing until DD self weans I think.
I was never able to do entirely EP or BF. started having to supplement very early due to low production of milk. But did continue to pump/ bottle until 6 months.
Still am. 13 mos, 5 days. Working at home 3 days/wk and she is in DC those days, I quit pumping officially 2 wks ago tomorrow, so I'm using up the frozen stash and sending her with 2 bottles of 2 oz WCM and 2 oz BM this week and then I'll have one bag left, which I may just keep for a while. So this is the last week she will have BM at DC! I want to continue to BF til she is 2 though.
I'm still nursing 6-7 times a day. I nurse her on demand and she demands the boob a lot.
I am weaning her from nursing to sleep so I'm hoping we will drop 2 sessions for good. Right I try to fill her up bf I lay her down so she goes to sleep easier. I'm hoping to not need to do that later.
Ok, I'm being lazy. Looking at who commented, let's count this as Tata Tuesday.
pml828414, I feel the same way about him self weaning. I just don't know if it's going to happen like that. I hope it does though; I don't want to have to tell him no nursing when he gets so much comfort from it.

Same here. Linc is 13.5 months and still nursing 4-5 times a day.
Breastfed/pump@work: birth until 10.5 months. Then started combining bm with WCM. Now we're on open cup WCM with meals and boob first thing and last thing of the day. We sometimes skip one of those. I'll wean at 18m or if she self weans before that.

Your LO uses a regular cup successfully? I must be doing something wrong. :/

Yup. I don't give her a sippy any more. She has a water bottle with a straw as well. I never gave her handles on her cups. She always had to grab the cup. And with my sippy I was able to take the restraint thing out that makes you have to suck on it (and prevents spills). Did that for a while off and on. Did a lot of assisted open cup (I'd hold it at the bottom and top lip, and she tilted it). Then I just said fuckit and took the lid off. I learned only to give one or two oz at a time tops. And the second she comes up for air I take it back and set it down. I refill another oz if she drinks it all. Only with meals or sitting down at the table. We used this: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00318CLOQ/ref=pd_aw_sim_ba_2?refRID=1CF2F56TEG28Y4DGJTAW but skipped the tall one and never used handles.
