Hi All,
I'm hoping that you ladies will be able to give me some advice on this, My son is nearly 8 weeks old and I am EBF. Postpartum bleeding appeared to stop a couple of weeks ago, however I have noticed some light vaginal bleeding today. I am surprised about this, since I am EBF and was led to believe that this would keep my period at bay for at least a few months. I have recently been using a dummy and giving my LO the occasional bottle of expressed milk, could this be the reason why my period has resumed a little earlier than anticipated? He has also started having longer daytime naps and sleeping for slightly longer stretches at night, though only 3 to 4 hours at a time...not through the night by any means! My main concern is that he is not getting enough milk at each feed, although I'm not sure if this would necessarily have any impact on my period...he certainly appears to be happy and thriving
My husband & I have recently become sexually active again, on an almost daily basis...maybe things are still a little fragile down there and the renewed activity has caused some bleeding? I have even considered that it could be implantation bleeding, if I'd already managed to get pregnant again?! So many questions!
Thank you in advance for your contributions!
