When did you get your period after birth

Question

I know breastfeeding plays a role. I’m 20 weeks pregnant and planning on primarily breastfeeding. Does that mean I won’t get my period till after baby is weaned?
I’m jus wondering whether you breastfed, bottle fed, or used formula and when you got your period back.

Answer

I only breastfeed and got it back like clockwork at 5 weeks pp...

Answer

6weeks pp. My LO is breast fed either directly or I pump and give her a bottle.

Answer

I got my period a month after having my son. Then the next month I didn’t get one, but the month after I did. It’s so weird I get my period around the same time but every second month. I EBF my son, guess everyone’s body is different.

Answer

2-3 months each of them I breast fed for a couple of weeks to a month. It’s basically just being prepared at all times.

Answer
