Sorry i have no idea. But lots of women start to ovulatd again while they are
still bf. If your baby starts to sleep for longer at night, your periods may start. Once your baby is 6 months old and you start to introdude solids, you might be bf less.

Can i ask why you are so keen to have only a year betwwen your children? Thats a very small age gap. Do you have some health problem that requires urgent treatment?

No I am facilitating a career change and would like to complete my family before changing jobs, I know this sounds unreasonable, I already have a 1yr age gap between my eldest two and prefer the smaller age gaps! My ds sleeps for a period of 7 hours at night and sometimes goes for 4 hours during the day, but no sign of af returning yet :(

I see. Well i guess you just have to weigh up the risks to yourself and your children vs your career. Im surprised that with a 7 hour break your af have mot returned. Lets hope your next baby is such a great sleeper. I am very Envy

I know when ive seen other threads on this its been very individual between women . Hopefully soem experts will coem along soon with some good ideas for you
