Breastfeeding

How long are those who are breastfeeding planning on breastfeeding? Im most likely going to actually nurse and pump the first few months then switch to just pumping and using a bottle. Mainly because strictly breastfeeding wouldnt give me a ton of freedom and i want him to be comfortable with a bottle by the time i go back to work and still benefit from the breastmilk

I breastfed my baby until she was 7 months until i found out i was pregnant again and it became dangerous to my body. Personally it was so much easier breastfeeding. No worries about sterile bottles,the price of formula, and i miss the cuddles more than anything. I plan on breastfeeding this baby until a year.
