When did your period come back breastfeeding

[Em2122]

I want to get pregnant but still want to breastfeed my 6 month old. I’ve always fed very often but did give one bottle a night. Now I’m trying to give more space between feeds and maybe more bottles . Also started weaning with food, however not sure this is enough to bring it back as still breastfeeding a lot at night. I wanted to know those with older kids, when did your period return and what brought it on?

About 10 months both times. Was still breastfeeding frequently including night feeds.

For me it was as soon as I had 8 hrs or more break between bf-ing. They've been irregular due to dd feeding so much with teething etc but the first one was around 7 months when she slept through for a couple of weeks without a night feed (the sleeping though stopped though!) and the second was after I went and did a full day of work (even though I pumped!).
