When should you expect AF after Baby???????

Just a quick question- when did you get AF after giving birth in retrospect to breast feeding?

I've heard that when breast feeding you don't get AF?

William is 6 mths now and still no AF- not that I'm complaining!!

I feel a bit stupid asking this- BUT do you still ovulate even if you don't get AF?

Any answers would be great- ta.xxxx

There was another thread about this recently, can't remember where :-k

I just got AF back nearly 12months after Felix arriving..I breastfed exclusively for 6 mths and then intro of solids has been rather unsucessful, so breast feding quite a lot still..(not to mention everything else ;) )
I think everyone is different, but alot of women who feed through the night and exclusively breastfed for 6 mths can expect a fair spacing between kids..AF can be absent but you can still conceive..I know of a few people who thought no AF no pregnancies, unfortunately not so!

HTH!

Hey Nadia,

Check out this link HERE which helps explain a little bit about your period returning after birth.

Personally, my hasn't returned yet...
