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.

no need. if u continue,to bf then period will take very long to come

not a concern. some mummies period only return after 1 year

No worries ! I had mine after one year .
