Post partum

[rmorris95]

Any advice on getting periods back 10 months post partum whilst still breastfeeding? Only feeding 3 times a day but keen to get period back!

I think there’s a huge amount of variation between individuals, so it’s unpredictable. Some people get their period relatively early despite EBF around the clock, others after night weaning. I was down to one feed a day for a while, but still no period. With both children my period (or fertility - as had no period before third pregnancy) returned within a week or two of stopping BF completely. Which I did earlier than I wanted in order to get pregnant with babies two and three.
