So now that I'm not breastfeeding anymore I'm dreading the return of Aunt Flo. When can I expect her to come visiting again? ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com">

I got it back at 8 months and was only feeding 2 x day then. I think it can vary quite a bit from person to person -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

1 = 2mos, skipped 3mos, then 4mos onwards
2 = 3mos 3 = 6mos (yep I was panicking!!) With the first two I was exclusively bf. With the 3rd I hadn't introduced formula yet but she was on solids. I have no idea why it took longer to come back but I've been having nasty cramps since so something doesn't seem quite right. ------------- |
