I know have been pregnant for 4.5 years of my life and counting no. 6 on way but how long have I been feeding
I know I havent been feeding for 18 years - my oldest is 18 and my youngest is 4 now and still feeding - in fact just fed her tonight to get her off to sleep but she didnt feed this moring so it looks like this one is ending I reckon its about 12.5 years so far and as I said Im pregnant with no 6 and we have already agreed that, god willing, we will have no. 7 as its about another 5 years to add on....but Im sure the longest break I had was between nos.2 and 3, about 4 years - confused my husbanf reckons its 10 years.....

2nd - about 3yrs

Well 1 and 2 over lapped by a few months and Im sure 3,4 and 5 where all at it at the same time but I could be wrong as no 3 is nearly 10
As to it being abuse - grow up
And how do I get time to ask questions - its all about organisation and multi tasking LOL that and turning a deaf ear sometimes I was feeding her whilst checking some questions which is how it cropped up

Well, from what you listed, adding up the number of years you breast fed each one, it looks to be about 16-17 years! Unless you were feeding more than one at a time! Wow...you must be super mom...I'm expecting #4 and afraid I'll go crazy before the baby gets here! LOL...

It sounds like about 17.5 years to me.But that would depend on if any of the children overlapped.
Good for you for extending BFing. The person above who thinks babies don't need breast milk after one year is an idiot. It's definatly more than I could do, I'll probably wean around 2yrs(hopefully). I didn't get to BF my son and it really made me feel guilty. I bet your kids don't get sick very often do they?

its called adding up the yrs total each child up and that will give you answer
16 yrs 2 months( but did any kids over lap say one child was 2 and a yr later one was born ?)

Why does it matter? Personally I believe in breastfeeding but only to a point. I don't believe a child that's near school age should still be feeding off their parent. That's just my personal opinion. My cousin was breast fed until he was nearly 3 and he's horrible whereas his older brother had health issues (12 weeks premature) and could not, and he's much better behaved and in my opinion smarter. I do know that that has no relation to the other but just putting in my two cents.

I'm just curious what was your reasoning for bf'ing so long? that's longer than most do, and I was just wondering....
more like 15 + yrs!
