menstruation cycle

Mums who breastfeed all the time usually don't menstruate again until they stop nursing. They may also start menstruating if they stop nursing partially, especially at night. Mums who bottle-feed, or do a combination of breastfeeding and bottle feeding, may get their menstruation as soon as five weeks after giving birth. When mums breastfeed full-time, the body produces more prolactin — which is the hormone that helps you produce milk for your baby. That hormone also stops your menstruation from coming. Hope this helps! 🙂
