Breastfeeding after one year?

How many moms out there continued to breastfeed after a year? My twins were born almost a year ago. I never intended to breastfeed for so long but for for a couple of reasons I'm thinking I would like to continue. I've had problems with traditional breastfeeding and have been doing mostly bottle feeding. But as my twins get bigger, I think I will be more successful with regular breastfeeding. I would eventually like that bond. So I'm thinking of continuing. Any pros or cons to this?

I breastfed both of my kids. They're 2 years apart, and when my youngest was born I was still feeding the oldest so he continued until he was 4 and my youngest was 2. Looking back, I wish I had breastfed both of them until at least kindergarten, but extended breastfeeding was kinda frowned upon back then and I didn't know better

@daisy77 Thanks for sharing that. My twins are 2 now, and I was weaning them but have had second thoughts about it.
