Hi ladies,

Just wondering when your period came back after having your baby? I’m 7 weeks after birth and thought maybe I would of had it by now- I’m not breast feeding x

I exclusively formula fed. My first proper period was the month after I gave birth, about 5 weeks or so after. Then I was back on the combined pill from the 6 week check so I had my withdrawal bleeds not proper periods.

I got a first one at 12 weeks, I EBF for 6 weeks then mix-fed gradually upping the formula til I stopped breastfeeding at 10 weeks and I pumped a bit until 12 weeks when it returned. But it was only a tiny bit and very light for about 3 days. It was the next one that more resembled a normal period. And went back to my usual extremely heavy ones by the third or fourth one.

Exclusively bf for 6/7 months, then pumped, bottle and am & pm bf. Periods didn't return until I totally stopped all B/F at 13 & 14 months.

About 6 months and he was ff from birth. Felt like my period was going to turn up anyday from about 2 months though. So annoying.
