Breastfeeding mamas - Has your period come back yet?

Question

Just curious, I’m well aware that breastfeeding can delay your period returning to its normal cycle. With my first, bang on 8wks pp it returned - currently enjoying not having to deal with it as its not come back yet but at the same time would be happy if it came back to a normal cycle so I’m not constantly thinking ‘what if’ each day 😂😂

Answer

I'll be 8 weeks pp tomorrow. I have no af but pretty intense period cramping the past couple of days and my milk supply has reduced a bit (happy about less milk because I was over producing up to this point and was quite over it for me and my baby's sake)

Answer

It's common for breastfeeding mothers to experience delayed periods due to the hormone prolactin, which is responsible for milk production and can suppress ovulation. However, every woman's body is different, and some may experience their period returning earlier or later than others. It's important to remember that even if you haven't had a period yet, you can still get pregnant, so it's important to use contraception if you're not ready for another baby.
