Some mummy have tgeir period even when they are breastfeeding, some not. But if you are not having your period, it doesn't mean you aren't ovulating sometimes. If you are the type that dont have menses when you bf, your mense should come back after u wean off. That's what happened to my gf and she went to see her gynea to check if she's ovulating coz she planning to have another child.

It varies for individuals. Usually it won’t come back as long as u r breastfeeding but for some people, they can be having period while breastfeeding. If u stop breastfeeding, the period will come back about one month later.

my period was back 2 months post partum, and it's heavy flow for the first 2 days. I am fully breastfeeding. I'm wondering if there any mummy has the same experience as mine? Rhe supply is obviously dropped when having period.

Yes I shared the same experience too. When I read everyone mentioned you won’t have menses if u bf, I was surprised my menses came 2 months postpartum too. But I realised that it’s normal for some women.

I think it's different for everyone. Mine came back at 11 months pp but it's lighter than my normal period. I'm exclusively breastfeeding up to now.

Hi, It totally depends on the individual. Generally during breastfeeding, the periods gets delayed
