Has anyone concieved shortly after birth while breastfeeding.

[Gracia]

I'm just wondering how long some of you moms have gone without getting your period while breastfeeding? I have an almost 1 year old, who is a night (and day) nurser, and therefore, I've still no visit from AF. Can this go on, for as long as one nurses, primarily during the night? Just looking for averages from the community,,,

Gracia, With 1st I went over 2 years without Af even though DS was totally weaned at 14 months. (has lost a lot of weight was only 45 kg at the time so this may have been contributing factor also) With 2nd DS AF returned at 11 months still BFuntil 17 months (was pregnant with no 3). With 3rd Ds Bf him until 21 months and AF returned at 24 months. With DD Bf her until 23 months but AF returned at 8 months (she was sleeping throught the night from about 8 weeks I think) 4th DS stillborn so didnt bF at all obviously and got BFP within 5 weeks of birth No AF in between.
