    I have the two...Gabe is 14, Abby is 10. Breastfed both of them.

    One boy, one girl
    Ages 41 (yikes!) and 38 (yikes again). I breastfed them both. I was 23 when I had my first child. I know it's supposed to increase our risk factors for developing bc if we were never pregnant, or were pregnant at an older age, and did not breast feed, but look at all of us - most of us do not have that risk factor, yet here we are.

    One Girl (21) One Boy (16)
    One Girl (21) One Boy (16) My cancer has been VERY hard on them. I try to protect them and pretend I'm ok, even when I'm really not. It's very hard.

    3 & 2
    I have 3 Children, 25 boy, 19 girl, & 14 boy + 2 Grandchildren both almost 3-boy & girl.
    (No, not twins, born 3 months apart)
    I didn't BF either of them, dried up naturally, yet wondered at times if this had something to do with my diagnosis.

    Fun to find out all of the children and grandchildren too!
    I have 3 children, 2 boys (35 and 32)and then a girl (29). I breast fed all 3 of them. They are all married now and I am so lucky to love the ones they have married and they love me too. Blessed there. Each couple has a child so that makes 3 grandchildren! I have a little granddaughter who is 5, and two grandsons-- one is 9 months and one is 4 months. Love them all so much! My inspirations!
    The cancer has been hard on them in that I have such a bad family history and then two of them were so blessed with such healthy babies but they had fears about their mom and nannie to the babies.
    May God bless all of our children and grandchildren and keep them cancer free!

    Have Two!
    I was 34 when I had my son. I was diagnosed when he was about 14 months old. My daughter, who just turned 6, was a miracle baby that we were told we would never have. I had her about 4 years after my diagnoses.

    Some may question ones sanity of trying to have a child after BC, but I refused to let it control the destiny of my life. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow, so the fear of having BC come back, though it is real, it doesn't get the better of me and control what destiny God has in store for my life.

    Will be celebrating 10 years this Sept. :)

    Blessings,
    Sally

    four kids
    I had 4 children. Each of them were breast fed. The shortest time spent breast feeding was 3 weeks, the longest time spent breast feeding was a year. Experts think that it helps to fend off bc but in my case who knows. I am 54 and maybe I'd have had it earlier if I had not breast fed at all.

    I have 3 kids. Had my first one at 36, last one at 42. Breast fed all three, probably did a total of 4 years breast feeding if you combine the time for all three.
