If you're *not* EBF, have you started your period?

Question

My son is about 30% breastfed and 70% formula. I don't pump, I nurse once in the morning, once at lunch, and once before bed, and most of the time he's just playing around or falling asleep (ie they're not super efficient feedings). I know every/body is different and the grass is never greener, just curious if others are in the same boat or not 🤔😊

Answer

I'm EBF with my LO and I got my period about a week and a half ago. Damn flow was so heavy, max strength pads were needing changed every 30 minutes- 1 hour (almost finished the entire bag we just bought 😒)

Answer

I stopped breastfeeding at 4.5 months...still nothing...

Answer

I am EBF. But with my first I didn't get my period until 18/19 months post-partum. I asked my doctor when I was in for something else and he said for some women they have to completely stop nursing and dry up for them to get their period. 🤷‍♀️
