BF Moms only please

I exclusively BF LO about 7-8 times a day. I've heard it can take as long as a 14 months to get a period again. What have your experiences been?

When we went onto combi feeding I had light spotting for a couple of hours. I literally noticed the spotting had a few cramps, expressed and it went away again.

Mine came back when I dropped down to just 2 feeds a day (morning and night) when my son was about 9 months and was more or less weaned onto solids.

My son is 7 months and I havn't had one yet. I only had one with my daughter about 6 months, but my periods are pretty all over the place anyway, I've only had about 10 since 2005

With Casen it didn't come back til he stopped nursing at 11mo. Hayden he nursed until 19mo but night weaned at 15mo finally and that's when it came back

I have always breastfed Honor every 2 hours from birth during the day and at least twice during the night and I got my first period 9 weeks after giving birth.

Aww, that kinda sucks getting it 9 weeks later. I hope mine stays far away...

Darwin is over 10 months, eating two solid meals and a snack so he's BF less, and I still see no sign of the wicked witch
