Hello!

Background:

I’m 14.5 months postpartum and breastfeed mostly on demand (my son goes to daycare during the day and drinks cow’s milk during that 8 hour period of time, but nurses whenever he wants when he is at home). He is not yet sleeping through the night, and will wake me up to nurse 1-3 times a night, which I am okay with.

Anyway, I had an incredibly light period (?) on April 4th 2020 and July 17th 2020– lasted for about one day and was more akin to spotting. Today (Oct 12th 2020), I woke up to another possible period. This time around, it feels a bit more like a real period and seems to be tad heavier than the two other occurrences.

It seems like I’m having a period every three months??

I would love to hear other breastfeeding on demand mamas postpartum period stories! How long did it take to get your first period? To regulate your period? We want to start trying for baby #2, so I would love some anecdotes from you all. 😅

Thanks!!
