I have been BF (exclusively pumping) since december 2023. heard from a lot of friends that period usually comes back postpartum about 6 months. baby almost 8 months now, but my period did not return. should I be concerned?

return can range from immed up to 2 years hope this link is of help https://sg.theasianparent.com/postpartum-guide-period-after-giving-birth

I want my period to return soon too. Though I’m exclusively pumping, I’m also relying on formula. Now 5 plus months post partum

mine returned only after I toned down my frequency of pumping to twice a day at 9 months, so it's fine.
