When did your periods restart after having baby and how do/did you feed your baby

[Newmummee]

I'm mixed feeding and baby is almost 8 weeks, wondering if I'm feeling mild stomach period like cramps

Well, after a few weeks at the beginning of enforced mixed feeding (due to a poorly baby), followed by exclusive bfeeding, my period returned at about 10 months post partum. This coincided with my ds sleeping more overnight, and breastfeeding becoming more of a daytime thing. I think that it's the reduction in night feeding that can trigger it.

Just this week - my 'baby' is nearly 16 months!
Needless to say I'm not longer EBFing and haven't been for quite some time..

... but I haven't night weaned yet (though I very very much want to)

My baby is 13 months and still no sign - EBF (obv with food for her too now)

Period came 6 weeks pp , 10days ebf then mixed until a day before getting my period when he stopped bf.

I'm pissed off.

DC1, ebf, bf to 26m, 14m.
DC2, ebf, bf to 26m, 16m.
DC3, ebf ... 10 fecking weeks

I formula fed ds from birth and my period arrived exactly 6 weeks after my elective c section!

9 months, and I BF until 20 months.

Three times ebf...three times period by 6 weeks!!!! Always outraged it's come back so fast....I think it's a family thing as my mum has five sisters (all now in their seventies and eighties) who all ebfed but who tended to have several babies with sub one year gaps

Came back at 16m, still breastfeeding but mix-fed a bit from 10months.

EBF, 6 months.

8 weeks. Ebf. Pregnant with ds2 not long after. Ebf ds2 and was 10 weeks

EBF, still going at 20 months. Period restarted at 5 months (of 2-hourly feeds, ebf).

At least you've got a chance of getting your sex drive back now though.

ebf 10 weeks . Feel cheated!

Formula fed dd4, period didn't start until she was 8 weeks, was rather impressed!
Just had dd5, she is 2weeks & 2 days, hoping to have the same break from the painters lol

Ds1 exclusively breast fed until 6 months corrected then until 4 1/2 periods returned after about 8 months.
Ds2, emergency hysterectomy

15 months. Still feeding at nearly two.

DS1, EBF until 6 months, came back at 8 months. DS2, EBF until 6 months, came back at 5 months. Was going to complain about damn overenthusiastic uterus, but I see some people above got their period back even earlier.

7 or 8 months - when I stopped bfing at night.

Breastfed DD1 for 9 months. Periods started a year after having DD2, proof that breastfeeding alone is not reliable contraception. Luckily I was planning a small gap, just not that small.

4 weeks both times, and breast fed till nearly two and 3 years old.

8 weeks......ff......preg again by 12 weeks.....oops

Dc1 - ebf, night weaned at 22m, period back 8m
Dc2 - ebf, night weaned at 22m, period back 18m
Weird!

Hmmmm this thread has me worried! I mix-fed from 6 weeks, fully formula fed from 10 weeks. Baby is now 21 weeks and no sign of it!

Mine came back when DS was 11 mo!
I exclusively bf but DS was only bf a night after he turned 8mo (due to a mixture work, childcare and bottle refusal)
