Period and Bf

Anyone exclusively breastfeeding and still not had a period or already had a Period? My husband and I want to start trying for baby number 2 but I haven’t had a period yet. Considering moving to formula for my body to return to normal but feel guilty Baby is in 3 meals a day now and I hoped it would return but no sign yet

I haven't had a period yet and with my first took about 18 months. It's different for everyone. I have heard it depends on how much they feed at night (don't know if there's any truth in that). Current baby has one bottle of formula a day as a top up

I had my little girl in March and breastfed till 4.5months, my period came back after one month, I had two periods and baby number 2 is on the way. I wouldn’t feel guilty if they are weaning well xx

Mine came back at 7 months. Not planning on another baby for a while so I’d have preferred it stayed away 😂

I've not had my period yet, thankfully. The first time around it took 13 months. We were also trying for another child from 6 months postpartum so I took about 100 pregnancy tests between then and actually getting pregnant at 16 months postpartum.😅 Like you I wanted to get pregnant ASAP but now I'm actually really glad that it took a while because it would have been so hard to have two under two!
