When did you get your period back while EBF-ing?

[Anonymous]

I had a random streak of bright red blood today but nothing since. Baby is 5 months and EBF but we just moved him to his own room this week (and as a result he dropped roughly 2 feeds - so I only nurse once at night now woohoo). Is this how yours started/when did it start?

By my six weeks post-partum appointment, my period had already returned after BOTH pregnancies. I was EBFing both times. You just can't predict how your body will work!

Once my baby started sleeping about 8 hours straight at night.

8 months.

All three of my kids were round-the-clock ebf, and my periods came back at around three months.

bled 8 weeks after birth, period one month later like clockwork. Breastfed for 8 months.

6 weeks after delivery

14 months, even though I was supplementing with some baby food starting 7-8 months with each baby.

9 months, and wow it was crazy.

14 months - 2 months after I stopped breastfeeding (with first and second children). Am EBF with my 3rd, who is 3 months, and no sign of a period.

5 months once and 6 months once. EBF before solids both times.

Got mine back at six weeks PP, and once a month like clockwork since, despite being EBF until 6 months (when my supply was too low to keep EBFing). So not fair!
