breast-feeding & AF

[trixipaws]

im just wondering when all u BF mummies got ur first AF (how old babies were)
how much were u still BF then, and were u on the mini-pill?

im on the mini-pill now, i just finished my first card, but no AF
perhaps its coz im still BF i BF about 4 times in 24 hours now, and express a bit in the evenings to relieve the engorgement (just started formula in afternoon & eve)

or do u not get bleeds on mini-pill?

I've only had 2 periods since having DS and he's breastfed, has around 3-4 feeds per 24 hours and a bottle of formula. I got my AF first of all about 10 weeks ago, so you might find that it arrives soon

I still haven't had one but Brody still feeds quite alot!

I am not on the mini pill either but when I was told about it I was told it's quite normal not to have a period!

I got my first period last month, im still feeding Thea at 14 months. She gets about 3 -4 feeds a day but mainly just morning and night, the occasional feed during the day is just a quick snack type feed. I was on the mini pill from 6 weeks postpartum until my period came back and then my doctor took me off it.

Still no period for me. I am on mini pill since 2 weeks after I gave birth.
