When did your period come back if you were breast feeding or exclusively pumping?

Question

Just curious as I think I'm getting mine and I'm exclusively pumping and 5w pp but I'm not so sure since my bleeding from giving birth didn't stop completely

Answer

I'm 12 weeks pp and not had
My period yet. At around 6 weeks the bleeding started again but it wasn't a period apparently. I'm only BF at night now

Answer

My crazy body decided to bleed until 12 weeks post partum but my period has not returned. I am now almost 5 months post partum.

Answer

Still breastfeeding  (almost 1 year), period came back for the first time 6 weeks ago, I've had three since then! Sucks. But guess its just settling back in.

Answer

Baby is 6.5 months and I ebf until the day she turned 6 months.  Now she eats about 1 jar of baby food a day and ebf for the rest (no bottles and still wakes 1-2 times a night to feed).  No period yet.

Answer

I was 11 months pp with my first and 9 months pp with my second. I bled for 4 weeks and then had what I thought was a period at 6 weeks but it stopped after two days (OB said it was breakthrough bleeding from doing too much following birth).

Answer

I am was exclusively bf im now 8 months pp and baby eats foodnow but when he was born i bled for 4-5 weeks then stopped and had my regular period following month. Its kind of wacky still i will have light   Spotting for 4-5 days stop and about 10 days later have a regular period then nothing for 30 days then again spotting but never really not had my period even though i was just breastfeeding. Maybe im just weird cause a lot of my friends that exclusively breastfeed didnt have period until they introduced solids or some even til 1 year pp

Answer

Following. I'm 4 weeks pp, and bleeding had almost stopped but picked up again today and yesterday.

Answer

Answer
