    We made it 1 year and are still nursing 6-8 times. If you would have asked me at 4 days pp I would have told you they would never latch. If you asked me at 4 months how long I would make it I would have said ask me tomorrow. Then things got noticeably better :D Once we hit 6 months it was a breeze.
    I freaked out about returning to work and having to pump but all in all it was pretty painless. But I am now down to pumping only twice at work and not really worrying about how much I get (what a stress relief!!) so they will have to get some whole milk soon on those days.

    Dh and I bumped heads about a month or so ago about how long I would nurse and with some gentle coaxing he is now FULLY on my side :good: When I asked him what he will say when the ped asks how they are doing with whole milk (he takes them for thier one yr appt on Wed) he said he will say "they are doing just great on whole breastmilk" :wub: It makes such a difference to have his support.

    Who knows what this year will bring, but no matter what I am such a happy mom of my wonderful babies!!!

    Congrats to you momma! What a wonderful feeling it must be! It's encouraging to hear you say you were still doubtful at 4 months, because that's how I feel right now with my DD and her stubborness and refusing to nurse some of the time... Anyways, you deserve a gold star!

    Congratulations! :a_smil09: We are aiming for a year also. So far so good. I agree after the six month mark it got so much easier. Now it is easier to nurse then to prepare bottles or sippies. I would have never imagined that in the beginning.

    CONGRATULATIONS! You should be so proud of yourself. We are shooting for the same goal -- one year and beyond! You will have to let me know how you gently coaxed your husband, because I may need some tips in a few months.

    ONE YEAR IS AWESOME big hug and a pat on the back GOOD FOR YOU...and your BABIES!

    Kristi-

    Congratulations! You are an awesome inspiration for all of us that are aiming for to BF for a year of more! Similar to you, if you had asked me during the first 8 weeks after they were born if I would still be doing it, I wouldn't be so sure because of SO many difficulties! Its the best feeling to have made it this far and I love hearing about all the other twin mommies that are still going strong!
