I’m doing breast and bottle feeding. I gave birth over two months ago and not had a period yet. I’m curious how long it took for you?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I was just BF rather than combined, didn't come back until after I had completely stopped feeding at about 7 months (he was born May and first period was January)

I combination fed for the first 4 weeks and then moved to solely bottle feeding. My first period arrived 11 weeks to the day pp.

I was combination and mine came back at 9 months, after DD started nursery. BF significantly reduced to just bedtime!

Not until I did my last breastfeed

A few weeks after there was routinely a gap of more than 3-4 hours between breastfeeds.

I combi fed and mine came back just after 6 months

About 13 months after giving birth and 3-4 months after stopping feeding.

Exclusively breastfed, period came back within 6 weeks of birth both times. Felt totally cheated!

Combi with all.

DS1 one year
DS2 never came back as I fell pregnant with DD after 6 months without ever having a period! I was still BF when I fell.
DD came back after 4 months.

I combi feed for 2 months, and then bottle. Period came about 6 weeks later. Got pregnant via IVF (on 1st try) after three periods.
