    with my first my lochia stopped at 5 weeks an AF arrived 3 weeks after that and came almost monthly from there on out. No particular reason I could think as I was BF too although he did sleep pretty well over night and regularly during the day from early on so I did have 5 hr breaks over night from feeding and 3-4hrly in the day so I put it down to this. It does sound fairly normal though I have heard of many others who have had AF return early after birth regardless of BF or not.

    This also happened with my son, who was born at term... I blamed it on the mini-pill (started taking at 4 weeks) but it could've been just my silly body.
