My goals were the same as yours (a long term one and short term ones) and we're still going strong at almost 21 months now, which surprised me. I WOH and I admit the first year (with pumping) was...

My goal was to make it to a year and then reevaluate. We're still breastfeeding at 21 months. I think that I will be more open to formula next time, especially if I have the supply issues again. My...

If I just make it til I reenter the working world (planning on 4-6m old) then I'll still consider that a success because I bottlefed my first almost from the beginning, and I did SAH.

@lovehoneybee: I have similar goals. We made it to 3 months, now I have my eyes on 6 months, then 9 months. Ultimate goal is 12 months. I WOH full-time and I hate pumping. That is definately a factor....

My short term goal is 3 months, which is when I think the majority of the medical benefits are, and when I'll be going back to work. Then we'll see how pumping goes and my long term goal is a year, but...

I hope to BF for a year. I think short term goals will be better for me though. My first is 6 weeks. I'll be WAH part time the first year of baby's life.

I have no expectations or goals for BFing. I guess my "goal" is to try, but I have no strong feelings between breastfeeding or formula, so it doesn't makes sense for me to set any long-term goals. I...

My goal was at least a year from the beginning. We made it a week longer than a year, and DS self weaned. I had no trouble with nursing, but pumping was really, really stressful for me.

I would really love to breastfeed for 2+ years, but I will be returning to work at 12 weeks, and am apprehensive about pumping, so my goal is one year, and then see how we're doing.
