Just curious how long it took for your period to return post partum. Its been 8 weeks since I stopped expressing and nothing. Only keen as we want to start trying for a 3rd in the next few months. :)

About 18 months with both of mine

MasterOfCake · 10/06/2024 23:18

EBF both times. First, came back at 4 months. Second, came back at 5 months.

Gutted both times as hoped I’d be one of those who didn’t get a period when breastfeeding!

First one I bottle fed so 6 weeks, 2nd I breast fed so when I gave up at 4 months.
