EBF and periods

0 replies

My 6 week old DD is EBF, doesn’t go longer than 3 hours without a feed including the night. Typical gap between feeds is 1.5 - 2 hours including the night.

Despite this I think my period has returned today. Lochia had stopped fully about 2 weeks ago. The last couple of days I’ve had discharge (similar to how it is when you’re ovulating) and today I’ve had light bleeding.

Could this be my period already? I feel cheated!

More importantly, I’m worried how this will impact breastfeeding. We’ve had such a tough time already with getting it established and finally feel like we’ve turned a corner only for this to come up.

Will this affect supply etc?
