Menstruation question for extended breastfeeding mamas...

26 replies

I'm currently continuing to breastfeed on demand my (very demanding and boob-addicted 🤭) 15 month old DS. We're co-sleeping and he pretty much helps himself to it overnight ☺️

My periods have not returned yet... sounds crazy but I'm starting to miss them.

Is it something I should be worried about?
Any of you mamas had a similar journey? When did you finally get your cycles back?
Thank you in advance for sharing 🙏🏻

Don't worry it's totally normal. The longest I breastfed one of my children for was 3 years and my period did not return until he was fully weaned. Same for my other two (although they were bf for around 2.5 years each). They can take a while to return but it's nothing to worry about x
