When did your AF return after birth if you were full time breastfeeding?
Just wondering when i should expect to see her again.
DS was about 4 mnths, but she didn't return regularly. I think the first few times was every month and the it was every 6 weeks for awhile, seems to have settled back to every month now.
MY ds is 9 months and still no sign of AF
This can vary greatly. For most women who are exclusively bfing, it won't be until after solids are introduced at 6 months, and can be even years after! However, if you use formula or introduce solids before 6 months, or have a baby who does not feed during the night, then it is most likely to be sooner.
AF returned for me and all the other mums in my MG at 7 months. It was quite funny we all had it together!
For me it was a few weeks after I stopped feeding Mason during the night
I got mine back at 6 months which annoyed me as we were and still are feeding overnight still.
has been regular since return.
How annoying for you feeb! The same thing happened to me with DS2 - he fed during the night until 12 months, but AF came back after 6 months. With DS1 who didn't feed during the night after 6 weeks it came back after 7 months!
I think it came back when DD was about 10 months... this was well after she stopped her night feeds though, so I guess I was one of the lucky ones!
firs dd 9.5 months full bf till 5 months then half bf and half formula (i expressed till 5 months but could not keep up hence formula, went back to study part time when she was 10 weeks)
second dd 9 months fully bf till 16 months day and night
dd3 8 weeks fully bf and still is
Still waiting for mine to come back :)
Bet she will come when I least expect it!
Stopped feeding voernight 2 weeks ago, but DD has been sick with Croup and feeding 3 times a night :rolleyes: for the last week, so not sure what is going to happen!!
