This is just a question to satisfy my curiosity really. Of those of who who breastfeed or breastfed when did your period come back?
Just interested as I exclusively fed on demand my ds for 6 months (still bf now though only 2-3 times a day as he is 13 months and eats loads of solids)and yet had my first period when he was 3 months old. I have had one every month since though they are ligher and less painful than pre-pregnancy. I know it really varies but was wondering if anyone else had this sort of experience.
Ds was never a really hungry baby - he probably fed 6-9 times in 24 hours, though 9 was more when he had growth spurts. 7-8 times was more normal. He never slept the night until he was 11 months so he fed quite often at night too(usually 1-2 times sometimes more).
Mind you I also bled for a lot of my early pregnancy so I only had the last 6 months of my pregnancy and 3 months after the birth (9 months total) free from the curse. Maybe I'm just bleeder
