Not quite infant feeding but...

[firsttimemum15]

When did your monthly cycle return afyer having your baby if you were breastfeeding. Was it when you stopped completely or when they dropped feeds? If the latter how much milk did they drop/how many feeds a day were they on when it came bk?

So it has come back with a vengance. I feel gross. Seem to be constantly soaking giant pads

Yes it was bad for me for a while. Be careful you don't become anaemic. You could see if there's any contraception they could offer; it's often the mirena.

Mirena? Not bothered about contraception tbh

Irrc: if I remember correctly.

Mine came back when DS was 4 months old so he was still feeding 8+ times a days and having over night feeds.

I stopped feeding my twins 4 months ago and my period hasn't returned yet

Mine just returnrd after 15 months

8 months for me.. Ds ate well from the start from weaned six months. I was pregnant again the following month.

Was still bf on demand, a lot at night, less often daytimes. But before bed, on waking up and still several times between. Maybe twice in the day.

Mine were horrendous for a year and I became anaemic. I didn't take it but mirena offered

Both of mine came back about a fortnight after starting to wean onto solids.

Mine came back at 18 months when I was still breastfeeding twins approx 4 times per day each. I was age 33.

Then came back at 23 months whilst still brestfeeding a single baby about 4 times per day. I was age 37.
