I only breastfed for 10 days before switching to bottle-feeding. DD is now almost 10 weeks old and I presumed they would have returned by now. When did yours return?

can't remember exactly, think was about 8 weeks. but i don't think there's any rules! if you're worried, maybe check with doc or HV?

2 weeks after lochia stopped, so at about 8 weeks after birth.

Much to my embarassment when I went to GP worried that I had started bleeding again... and he pointed out gently that it was probably my period

Bled for 4 weeks after the birth, one month off, then normal periods resumed.
