Hello Mommies. I have a question my baby is 4 months and I'm exclusively breastfeeding bit today my menstrual cycle started. Is this normal? I thought it wouldn't start until I introduced solids? Have any Mom experience this? How did the baby react to your hormones changing.
My mom exclusively breastfed all her kids and she would always get hers 3 months pp (she has 4 kids). I'm breastfeeding exclusively every two or three hours and I got mine back at 4 months pp. so I think everyone is different!
probably a growth spurt then. or teething it happens. I did a lot of research because I wanted to use breastfeeding as birth control method.
@madelynnb, yea she started sleeping through the night and I started working. However I'm still pumping at work and last night baby girl actually woke up every 3 hours to feed which I found strange since she sleeps through
wow. @madelynnb @zaysmomma thanks I home my baby continue nursing fine but God allow this for a reason so I guess I can't stress
if your baby sleeps through the night or eats less than every 4 hours at night then you will most likely get your period back sooner
one of my friends didn't get theirs back until baby was almost 2. another for gets back 7 weeks p.p and I have only had occasional spotting and I'm 7 months pp.
it's different for everyone some people get there periods back right away others it takes along time.
@madelynnb, hmm she is also teething. @aboutellesbabe thanks I feel better knowing im not the only. I guess u excepted it to come much later.
