First AF and Breastfeeding

[Antheia]

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.
