Period and breastfeeding
When my baby was born I was combination feeding for around 2 weeks while my milk increased. I’ve been exclusively BF ever since and my period came back straight away and has been on time every month. I thought I wouldn’t have a period if I exclusively breastfed?

It's common for your period to take a while to come back when breastfeeding, but it's not a problem if it comes back straight away. Some women it comes back after a few weeks, others not until they stop BF altogether. With my daughter it came back bang on 6 months and she was an absolute boob monster night and day, i was fuming 🤣
My boy was born mid October and I’ve had three periods, absolutely guttered cause I read I wouldn’t until further down the line because I breastfeed, I’m slowly realising not to believe everything you read!

No advice because same, I just had my first period 16 weeks in and I’m exclusively breastfeeding too. Was not expecting to have a period until at least 6 months pp
