I'm still breastfeeding dd2 who has just turned one, and my periods haven't returned yet. I was just wondering if anyone else's period stayed away this long? With dd1 they returned when she was about 9 months, when I returned to work full time. With dd2 I'm only working mornings, so she has a long feed early morning, then a couple of feeds in the afternoon, plus one while she falls asleep for her nap. She then feeds to sleep at bedtime. Is she still feeding too much for my periods to return?
Obviously I would rather they stayed away for as long as possible, I'm just wondering whether to check with the doctor if there is another reason?!
