I plan on nursing as long as my son wants to nurse. I nursed my daughter until I got pregnant with my son and only stopped because I had fierce awful morning sickness. So I stopped nursing her at 14 months.
With my son, I planned on breastfeeding for 1 yr. However, he was not ready to wean then, so we nursed up to a week before his 2nd birthday. So 2 years. With my next, it will only be the 1st year.
We have given both of our kids formula hear and there. I actually gave my son 2 oz in the hospital to help him sleep because my milk hadn't come in yet. But at this point im a dairy queen so I have to pump off some of the surplus.
