Breastfeeding and Periods

**Hokey Pokey** · 09-07-2007 10:30

While breastfeeding did you get your periods?

**shed** · 09-07-2007 10:33

No.

Nearly 12 months and no sign of it. I read in a book that its the NIGHT feeds that keep AF at bay more so than the day feeds.

My DS doesn't sleep through the night, he feeds quite a bit - three or four times (we co-sleep).

I used to whinge about him not sleeping through but since I read that I have been quiet, lol.

Yep when DD was 6 months old

thought i'd be without them untill i'd finished BF.

from pretty early on-and I was very obviously ovulating as I conceived while b/fing too!

DS self weaned at 15 months, my period came back about two months after that..

And I could agree with the night feeds keeping them away - DS was a night guzzler!

Yup, straight after PP bleeding I got AF

No haven't seen her yet.

**RaryGirl** · 09-07-2007 11:08

Yes - exactly 28 days after PP back came AF ..... no break for me!

mine came back after 7 months, i started dd on solids at 6 months and she cut her feeds down!!

When Sasha was about 5 months i started getting light spotting every 2 weeks.

But before af returned i got pregnant but i lost the baby.after that my spotting took about 50 days to come back.
