When did periods return breastfeeding

[saamantha19881]

Hello,
I breast feed, but baby girl has maybe 2-3 formula bottles a week, has a dummy and I express a bottle of milk a day for DH to give at bedtime.
Was anyone in a similar situation? When did your periods return?

Almost identical feeding, no dummy. Periods came back after 6.5 months

4 months on the dot. Exclusively bf. I still feel cheated.

About 14 months. Plus the pain is horrendous to what it was previously 😬

I EBF and my period came back when she started eating food when she was six months old.

Exactly the same here.

Baby is 10 months and they haven't yet. Worried now! I am now mixed feeding - bf, formula and solids.

First was 17 months and conceived #2 while feeding at 20 months . This time they can back this month at 19 months hoping to conceive #3 now .

12 months. EBF for the first 6 months. Not unusual AFAIK.

I ebf both.
Dc1 - 11 months
Dc2 - 8 weeks. I was livid!

7 weeks 😢 breastfed till 13 months

17 months in and I’m only feeding 2-3 times a day but no sign of my period yet

About 9/10 months, basically bang on 4 weeks after I night weaned. EBF till weaning at 6 months, then fairly frequent feeding after that: almost everyone I knew who breastfed it was circa a year.

3.5 months exclusively breastfeeding. No expressing no nothing.
Also felt cheated 😄

About 5 months exclusive bf.

Thanks everyone! It looks like there is no way to predict!

EBF, no dummy, DS is a frequent nurser. First period returned at about 19 months PP. Have had another period since and both have been light and pain free (in contrast to previous periods which were always heavy and painful).

Breastfed on demand round the clock. Periods returned at 23 months.

I was mixed feeding and mine came back a month after I completely stopped breastfeeding

Mine didn't come back with my first until I stopped breastfeeding at 18 months and at that point he was only feeding morning and in the night I'm sure I remember reading at the time that night feeds keep periods away for longer. I have a 5 month old now, exclusively breastfeeding and I havent had one yet.

Exactly 4 weeks after the last feed at 16m. She was obviously having lots of food by that point and I had been down to two feeds then one feed a day for several months before stopping.

4.5 months EBF. I felt cheated also as I have endometriosis, so thought I was in for a bit more of a break from symptoms!
