Girl, Exclusively breastfed until 6mths then I pumped at work and continued breastfeeding when I got home. Period came back at 6month then had another one 3 months later and another one 2 months later, then they were regular after that. So pretty much it came back when I stopped exclusively breastfeeding.

Exactly when my daughter turned 6 months. Exclusively breastfed. She started sleeping through the night 2 weeks before my period returned.

Following.I’m currently almost 20 weeks postpartum, exclusively breastfeeding, no period yet. My son was born 4 weeks early due to me having severe covid.

I’m breastfeeding my daughter and she’ll be 15 weeks Monday. No sign of a period yet. With my son, I formula fed and my period returned at like 7 weeks PP.
