TTC WHILE BREASTFEEDING

[90mamabear]

Hi there - currently 16m pp! Hoping to concieve asap! However no return of cycles as of yet . Extremely frustrated with this ! Previous postpartum cycles returned in first year , but with combination feeding (currently ebf). Wondering is anyone on the same boat or similar or any previous experiences !? Really hoping to continue bf although it’s looking like I will need to make some changes to feeding pattern to induce ovulation!

would love some ttc bf mamas with me !

thanks in advance ladies 💕

Heyy I am in the same boat almost 8 months pp and still breastfeeding but reallyyy want another baby however still no sign of a period so doubt I am ovulating 😩 I have read that dropping the night feeds can bring back ovulation but my daughter isn’t ready to drop night feeds yet! Are you still doing night feeds?

Hey hun! Still feeding on demand ! I work 4 days per week and express then feed on demand when with my toddler ! I spoke to a fertility nurse who said if you aren’t having periods , you aren’t ovulating .. so looks like that’s us ! Ha ! I’m thinking of trying to drop a feed to get a window of no feeding during day as no chance of night weaning xo what’s your plan :)

My daughter is quite a lot older than your LO (nearly 30 months) but I'm also trying to conceive whilst breastfeeding. My cycle didn't come back until 23 months postpartum, and hasn't been very regular since 😬 My cycle did come back after we had some big improvements in sleep at night so I think the reduced feeds definitely helped!

I power pumped like crazy to build up a huge supply of frozen milk and then I stopped bf 🥺 my DS still had my milk in a bottle, but I knew I needed to track my ovulation. Baby number 2 is only 10 weeks old, but when I'm ready for number 3 I'll probably do the same thing x

Good luck mamas 💖

Just an update, I've just got a BFP cycle 1 of trying for my second ✨️ My DD (2.5) still breastfeeds twice in the daytime, to get to sleep and several times in the night. I'm so happy I didn't have to stop feeding to conceive!

Congratulations thats amazing news 🥰
