How long did it take for your cycle to return after having a baby & breastfeeding?

Well, we're still bfing, and I had AF on the dot, typical (for me) 30-34 day cycyle at 2, 3 and 4 months, got a funny one at 5 months... and then it went missing until she was almost 9 months And have since been regular-ish, about every 32-38 days.

I'm pretty sure that doesn't help though sorry!

I got AF back around 8 1/2 months and we are still feeding over night.

6 weeks with dd1 and 8 weeks with dd2. First time my cycle was 3 weeks and it took about 6 months to get back to normal, second time around its back to 28 days.

E is almost 11 mths and no sign of AF! She is still feeding overnight though.

With D AF came back within about 6 wks! So it must be a bit random

DS was exclusively BF with lots of BFs overnight until about 10 months. He wouldn't have a bar of solids at first but then once he was into them (at 10 months) he fairly quickly reduced his BFs to just two a day. Then we kept the morning feed until he self-weaned at 14 months. My first AF arrived for his first birthday party (how nice ).

DD is a really random sleeper, sometimes she feeds all night, sometimes she sleeps through. She's been well into solids since about 7 months and I know she's reduced her BM intake but I wouldn't have a clue how many feeds she has a day (I never count them). Anyway, she's nearly 10 months now and still no sign AF for me

Came back at around 5 months but they aren't too regular -- just got my second one, 35 days after my first and it is a bit weird... very light and just odd.

Still no a/f for me... but I'm not complaining

Nine months for me & we were only feeding once overnight from a week old.

3 months with DS, and 5 months with DD. Both were feeding frequently round the clock.
