Missed period

I stopped breastfeeding on the 31st January and I had my first period since giving birth (15 months later) on the 13th February which lasted 5 days. I was due to have my next period 2 weeks ago but I’m now 12 days late. Would you suggest I do a test or is it normal for it not to be regular yet?

EBF baby is getting on my last nerve

Obligatory note that I love my baby who is 4 months old but she is really pushing me to the edge and I need to vent. **I know she is just a baby and is not doing any of this intentionally** During our breastfeeding journey if it’s not one thing it’s another.

Do you have to pump breastmilk?

My baby just had her day 5 check up by the midwife. She lost 6% of her weight which the midwife wasn’t concerned about.
