    My cycle returned when DD was 6 months old. She has never taken a dummy and still feeds ~7 times a day with 2-3 of those being overnight at 15 months old. I think it is just genetics and luck. I do know my Mum also got it back at a similar time but she had stopped breastfeeding around then.

    after 3 months, when I went back to work. Pretty much the moment I put a breast pump to me. He still breast fed 3 times a day right up until 14 months.
