| My baby is 10 months old and I still BF with formula supplementation from time to time. Still have not gotten my period. I’m sure it varies from person to person but what has your experience been? I am 38 if it makes a difference and was having pretty regular periods prior to getting pregnant. |

It varies from person to person and will be different with different babies.
I got mine back at 4 months when I was exclusively nursing my first kid. And with the second, it didn’t come back until 7 months. |

Adding that my periods were very regular. I had my second kid just after my 39th birthday. |

| EBF and got it back 6 weeks after birth both times. Supply really took a hit each cycle but not enough that I needed to supplement. |

| I have to completely, completely wean before it comes back. I once didn't get my period for three years. |
