Periods for exclusively breastfed women

@Christy mine came a month but hasn’t come again since then. I “guess” you’re fine
@Patience mine did the same! And I pump more than I breast feed!
Currently 4 months in pp and still yet haven't had a period. Exclusively breastfeeding also
My first two EBF my period came back at 7-8wks pp, then continued regularly. But I know it’s common for it to come back and different stages. Have you started purées, cut back on feeds, Bub sleeping longer over night or anything like that? Because these can all impact bf/periods. Side note: I did fall pregnant 4m pp & 10m pp 🤷🏻♀️
I didn't get my first period after birth, with ebf, till after a year
@Sharnee yes she does have solids 3 times a day and sleeps through the night with 3 feeds🧡
I thought mine came but it didn’t actually come until exactly a year after I had my baby.
Heyy, 6m pp bf mum here, my period came back at 5m pp & has been irregular since. It’s completely normal ml, it’s because our hormones are starting to fluctuate back to normal as our milk supply solidifies. Sitting with my health visitor currently as I type this xx
Mine came back at 7 weeks but was still irregular until about 9 months. Obgyn said it’s nothing to worry about - it’s normal to be irregular for the first year or so.
I’m worried I have my period already a month after and ebf ugh. I’d be lucky to not have one 7 months later
