Breastfeeding - yes or no?

I’d do it again even though I’m still trapped breastfeeding now almost 17 months later🤦🏽♀️
I did it once already with my oldest, he nursed for full 2 years. Now with my youngest we are just about done (once every 1.5 days for about 5 minutes) and I'm pregnant with our third and last. I would do it again absolutely
I’d still breast feed but maybe would pump more as I couldn’t get anything done as he hated the bottle was quite miserable for months as I had no sleep 😅
I exclusively breast fed (pumped) until 8 weeks and then combi fed until 4.5 months, and I 100% would stick to exclusively breastfeeding and not pumping. I succumbed to people telling me I wasn’t feeding her enough and even a dr told me my milk wasn’t enough and so I supplemented with formula, it worked for us and she’s healthy but if I could do it again I wouldn’t of listened and would carry on breastfeeding!
I breastfed for a year, towards the end of it I became sick of it although of course he wasn’t feeding as often. I just found it really overstimulating & it would make me cross. I’d do it again though because I couldn’t be arsed with the faff of bottles, plus it’s healthiest!
I combi fed (managed to get her down to one bottle of formula at night as we had a really tricky breastfeeding journey) if I had another I would try to exclusively breastfeed. But I wouldn’t stress myself if it didn’t happen and would combi feed again.
