TTC after Baby #1 but only one period

We would like to start on Baby #2 but I've only had 1 period (2 months ago) since Baby #1 was born (7 months ago). I am breast-feeding, bubba was sleeping through but now has terribly itchy eczema which wakes him up in the night so i feed him once to help him (and us!) back to sleep.
Any advice on how to get #2 cooking without stopping breast-feeding?

Hey leannie, I looked into the issues surrounding fertility while breastfeeding (for the opposite reason to you!) and there seem to be a few 'conditions' to fully breastfeeding which help to keep you infertile. The main things were feeding at least once every 4 hours during the day and every 6 hours at night, and apparently you're more likely to remain infertile if you sleep in the same room as your baby, and aren't separated from them for more than 3 hours per day. Here's the wikipedia page on it.

So I guess if you want fertility to return you need to try to space out the feeds a bit longer, and work on getting bubs to sleep through without a feed (try The Sleepstore for info on that), and maybe see if you can take a break from bubs during the day!

Oops I must have misread your first post - I thought you were saying you only breastfeed the one feed at night... My wee girl wasn't at all keen on food until about 8 months so I know what ya mean - when she started eating properly she naturally cut down on the breastfeeding (I also started a little formula as she wasn't sleeping well)... by start of ten months she was all about the food and totally over me feeding her... which was a little hard but it's a few weeks later and I'm over it too
... and yep I'm hoping for a small age gap too for the same reason (although when I said trying for baby #2 it's really #3 I just don't consider my 12 year old a baby - couldn't get much bigger gap there ...
Anyway all the best... hope it happens soon
