When did you get your period after giving birth??

Question

I am almost 9 weeks pp. I was exclusively breastfeeding but since I was losing my milk I had to switch to formula. I heard that BF can postpone your period and I haven’t breastfed my daughter in over a week.

Answer

I got my period about 7 weeks PP with my son. I started off trying to breastfeed but my supply was too low. I was supplementing with formula from the beginning. I don't think I was ever nursing enough to get the period delaying effects. 
This time around I've been successful with my attempt to breastfeed so my daughter has been pretty much exclusively breastfed with very rare formula supplementation like the other day when I was in the hospital and she was home with grandma. I would say 95% of the time or more she breastfeeds. I'm almost 4 months PP and no period yet.

Answer

I formula feed and stopped bleeding 2 weeks post partum. Just started bleeding again yesterday at 6 weeks pp, so I think its my first period.
