> I was able to express my milk for my daughter for 17 months. I quit
pumping
> when I was 7 months pregnant with my son.  She was excleusivly given my
> milk and no need for supplements. She did not start eating solid foods
till
> she was 17 months.  The reason I expressed my milk for her was because
she
> had severe reactions to pain medication we recieved durring labor.  She
was
> in the intensive care nursery for 14 days.  She is now quite healthy and
> very energetic.  She is on the small side of the growth chart, 26 lbs @
3y,
>  but then again I am not very big myself.  I used a medela lactina with a
> double pumping attachment.  I expressed every 2 hours or when I started
to
> feel full.  At each pumping session I was able to collect 12+ ounces.
> I hope this helps.
