Ok
It just hit me today and i realised that i still havent had a period since Lachlan was born 1 yr ago.
He is still having around 4 breastfeeds a day could this be why?
Im just curious as i wonder if it is the breast feeding or good old PCOS again
Hi,
It's probably just the breast feeding. My bub just weaned onto the bottle entirely and I've just had my first very short, very light AF since her birth. A lot of mums don't get AF whilst breastfeeding at all, some get irregular AF perhaps without even ovulating, and some women take some time for AF to return even some time after they completely wean. HTH. (PS - if you want ask this in the breastfeeding section I'm sure you'd find a lot of women are the same)
My AF didn't come back till my bubs were down to two feeds a day so it's on the cards that BFing is what's doing it! It was at approx 12 months of age that they dropped feeds or self weaned
Could be because of breastfeeding.. my period didnt return until my daughter was about 16 months old. I had gone back to work 3 days a week by then so she was only having 2, sometimes 3 breastfeeds per day. She ended up weaning herself when she was 19-20 months old.
AF for me came back when DS was 9 months old, then was 6 - 7 weeks apart. Still is.
A friend of mine hasn't got hers back & her DS turned 1 a few weeks ago. Both of us are still BFing, so I'm guessing thats why.
mine came back recently and DD is not even 5 months yet much too my disapointment was enjoying not having them everyones different i still feed DD 3 hourly so i was like waaat.. lol
Completely normal - and to be cherished. It's great to have a *rest* from your period and all that goes with it. To me, one of the best benefits of breastfeeding.
