Did your period return around the same time postpartum for each child?

Question

Feel free to comment if you were breastfeeding and/or formula feeding, or just any experience you want to share around this. Just wondering! I got my period back at 6 months pp while EBF my first baby and now I’m almost 2 months pp with my second baby. Hoping to go longer than 6M pp without a period this time, but never know!

Answer

I breastfed all of my kids (3) for 2 years and didn’t have a period until a month after I weaned them.
I’m now almost 1 month in breastfeeding my 4th! I hope my body does the same this time too! Lol

Answer

My son was formula fed and I got my period back at 6 weeks PP. My breastfed daughter will be 8 months old next week and I still haven’t had a period.

Answer

Breastfed both my babies one year each. First time, I had one period at 9months but it never regulated (cycles were 25-45 days) and then I got pregnant with #2 at 16 months. With #2, it came back around one year post partum.

Answer

Yep, came back at 8mo pp with my first and 7mo pp with my second. EBF both babies. Cycle came back once they started sleeping 6+ hour stretches at night

Answer

I’m one of the “lucky” ones 🤪 who seems to get it back super early despite EBF. It returned around three months postpartum with my first and right at six weeks with my second. My second was already sleeping 6 hours at night, which was way different than my first, who didn’t sleep that long until closer to six months.
