How soon did your period return after having baby- i'm not bf this time around.

.........So i had months and months of no period. Can anyone give me an idea?

from a dim & distant memory of 10 years ago about 4-6 weeks.

DS1 - BF - 10 months
DS2 - FF - 7 months
DS3 - exclusive FF for 3 weeks, and one or 2 feeds a day until he was 4 months old - 3 months

Oh right. Queen of quotes what a varied range! With dd1 i bf for 6 months stopped and they returned straight away! Dd2 now just over 7 weeks old and no sign. I thought i was going to because i had the familiar ovulating cramp. But we've not been using any precautions.

Anyone else give me an idea?

6 weeks both times...

Thanks lulu, how is one of my international birthing partners! Well i hope?

6 weeks both times for me too. DD exclusively breastfed, ds mixed fed.

My 2nd & 3rd were both full bf - with the 3rd my periods after 6 weeks..........I don't think there really is a rule whether FF or Bf but still perhaps you should do a pregnancy test, you can be fertile straight away especially if you are FF - I think you are actually often hyper fertile straight afterwards.

am sbolutely fine sweetie, are you still broody?

Really? I didn't think you could fall so soon? But then everyone seems to be falling on mn!

yes MIL & her sister are 11 months apart, as are my friends 2 children.......it's not that uncommon

Oo er. Oh as your about i've sold my bug and i don't think she wants the posh bugs you can have them if you like for 25? No use to me!

really, that would be fab!!!!!!!!!!!! So do you think you could be, how soon did you bd?

Yeah if she doesn't want them then they are yours. I'll let you know. With regards to pg no idea! We are trying and without tmi were at it like rabbits i thought even thinking about it was ridiculous

we started trying when dd2 was 3/4 months and we thought that was mad

Eighteen months DD BF
Six months on and still no sign DS BF
So only 4 Af in 44 months result!

Lol at dh. Funny how mad on sex you get when you try isn't it. As soon as you fall your like well thats that dirty deed done! we are kind of just seeing what happens iykwim? No rush but wouldn't be end of world. With both dd's its taken between 4 and six months to fall

Wow cm how nice!

So 6 weeks is average so far.....
