EBF Mamas-When did AF begin again?

[wannabmomof3]

Just wondering how long it took for AF to return. I'm really enjoying this and not in a rush for AF She started food, but isn't really eating a lot-especially right now because she's sick. So this past week and a half we've been EBF. Never a drop of formula or skipped a feeding. I'm a SAHM so she pretty much has me on tap.

With my oldest it was 6 weeks, with my youngest I think 10 months or so.

[SweetTinkerbelle]

DD was about 14 months old.

[babypayne]

Around 16 months with dd1 and 11 months with dd2.

[Scarlett]

Mine returned 4 weeks later, right on target the old hag

[soniabee]

About 11 months with #1, still hasn't returned with #2 (6 months)

[raspberry]

My son was 17 months old. I so enjoyed that break from af!

[MommyShannon]

It can really vary no matter how much you nurse. I've been lucky and it comes back when weaning. Around 11 months and 12 months. With my 3rd I was still nursing her at 18 months without AF when I got pg with #4. She is 6 months now. It sure has been nice only having a few cycles in 8 years.

[JJorn]

Just over three months with my first and just over 2 months with my second and was consistent from the moment of return.

[Babidol]

Mine was 15 months when I night weaned.

[LaurainFL]

Both of my boys were exclusively BF. With DS1, AF came back at 3 months, and with DS2, it wasn't until 9 months. They both nursed the same amount.

[rachoochoo]

Around 5 months with my oldest but I quit BF her at 3 months. My youngest turned 1 last month and AF still isn't back.

[kellyowens]

Around 12-15months with each.

My youngest is 10.5 months. He had a paci from birth to 8months (self-weaned). We supplemented with a bottle of formula once per day from month 4 to month 6 because of low milk supply (I was hyperthyroid at the time). He started solids at 5months. In the last month he usually goes 12hrs during the day without nursing but still wakes a few times at night just enough to latch on and fall back to sleep.

All that to say I *still* don't have AF! I do nurse my toddler every few days but I can't imagine she's nursing enough to make much of a difference since she only stays on for a few minutes.

[Chayah]

6 weeks PP. Nice, huh?

[Aelith]

When I stopped pumping around 12 months.

[dunegirl]

Mine never came back while nursing. When dd was 20 months old I took provera to get AF back so I could TTC.

[BrandiB]

With DS I had light spotting around month 8 then it disappeared again. With DD she'll be 1 next saturday and its not back yet!

[hotpinkmomma0811]

My first real period after Sophia was born was March 28th. 4 1/2 months PP before that it spotty and not heavy. I quit nursing at 10 weeks PP.

[MomOfAnOnly]

4 1/2 months PP----- my DD never went more than 45 minutes between nursing sessions, and she was right in the middle of the 4 month GS too

[haydensmom]

Ds1 was 6 months, dd was 9 months, and nothing yet so far with Carter and he's 7 months.

[hpfan04]

7 weeks with DS and 6 weeks with DD.

[runningmomofmany]

Around a year for all mine except that that one time I got pregnant at 6m pp

[tanyachap]

7 mo PP with ds1
5 mo PP with ds2

[Tee-Ah]

4.5 months and my dd eats like a newborn and cluster nurses all night. We rarely go longer than 2 hours between nursing sessions. Totally sucked, that witch has it out or me. I started spotting today...so my second one will be right about on time. Ugh.

[CoffeeCat]

9 months, 9 months, 13 months, and...haven't gotten it yet and my youngest is 3 months. I exclusively bf all, no pacis or bottles, and the one who sttn least (my 1st) was the one where AF came at 9 months.

[KC's wifey]

Just got mine back this week. DD2 is 10.5 months. It was about the same for DD1.

[mla]

DS1 was 16 months, I think. Or maybe 18. The twins are 8.5 months and nothing yet.

[Adhafera]

I'm Ep'ing, but I got mine back at 3 months postpartum.

[i.<3.cheesysmiles]

DS1- maybe 3-4 months PP
DS2 - 5 WEEKS. I thought it was just PP bleeding, but in 28 days, it came back.

[TripMomma]

Jericho was right around 7 months when AF showed back up. He nursed until 23 months.
