DD is 11 months. My periods came back when she was 3 months but have always been light and easy to deal with.

But for the past few weeks she has started up nightfeeds due to teething and a stomach bug so she is usually in bed with me from about 1am and is on and off the boob until morning.

last months period was very light and my period which was due on Friday has vanished apart from a bit of bloody mucas (TMI).
I have done 2 tests and am not pg plus have all the PMT symptons (spots, hunting out chocolate and trying not to kill people).

So do you think it is the fact dd is feeding like a new baby again that has made my periods stop? She must have about 8 feeds a day too ATM.

My periods were irregular while bfing, your baby feeding more is probably the cause of a missed period. Stress and dieting can also cause missed periods.

Thankyou Belgo .
You could be right about the stress and dieting I lost about 7lb in April and then dp's Grandad died and everything was stressful for a few weeks and the weight has gone straight back on.

Sorry to hear that. That would explain the missed period.

Thanks Belgo, I did freak out a bit because my periods are very very regular.
But I can't remember sleeping much last month never mind doing anything else!

Mine went a bit funny whenever DS started feeding a lot more, sounds normal to me.
