Is it true while breastfeeding/pumping you won't get your period until you stop?

No

I’ve been breastfeeding the last 13 months and still no period.

last month

I exclusively breastfed and I got mine back within a few months...but I've had 5 kids and it varied each time

last month

No not true

last month

I got my period 5 months pp but it’s extremely light compared to what it used to be

last month

I’m ebf and I’ve just had my first proper period now at 18 weeks pp. looks like it’s delayed if you’re breastfeeding

last month

I exclusively breastfeed for two years. I had one period at 18 months and then nothing until 24 months when i stopped.

last month

I'm EBF and almost 8 months pp. No period yet 🙃

last month

i didn’t get mine until 8 months pp. i spotted at 5 months pp but barely anything. it’s different for everyone

last month

I had mine the whole time I breast fed from day 1. I mean my regular periods...

last month

Nope not necessarily I started mine with first two within like 6 weeks the third for it like 6 months after.

last month

I’m EBF & got my period back at 10 months pp. everyone is different though

last month

I’m combo feeding and just got my first today at 6 weeks pp x

Everyone is different. I’m 13 months postpartum. I’ve been breastfeeding this whole time from my baby’s birth and still breast feeding. My period came back at 12 months postpartum, but I believe mine was stress. I lost my job I couldn’t remember anything because of postpartum depression taking it’s toll on me.

last month

I was breastfeeding and pumping and got my period 4mo pp. Was able to keep up a supply for the rest of my babies first year but barley. Had to supplement with formula when my period came, as my breasts would just dry up then 😒

last month

I got my period back at around 1 year, and I'm still breastfeeding at 2 years

last month

Exclusively pumping mother here. I was pumping out pretty much 6+ bottles a day for 10 months, got my first post partum period at 7 months pp. I dropped my feeds only close to baby turning 11 months old and reducing milk intake by herself.

last month

I know for me if I would keep breastfeed no period however if I would stop for long periods of time I would spot here and there, my milk supply would also suffer.

last month

I think it depends everyone is different. I exclusively pump and didn’t get my period until I dropped to 3 pumps per day as I started weaning which was at 9 months.

last month

It depends I’m EBF and still haven’t had my period, currently 5 months pp. But I have a friend whose LO was born on the same day who is also EBF and hers returned just over a month ago.

last month

Nope im exclusively breastfeeding and got a period at 5 weeks PP

last month

I got my period 6 months pp and I was still breastfeeding, but it just depends on you. Some women don’t and some women do.

last month

Definitely not true. A lot of people (but not all) though don't get their period while exclusively breastfeeding (ie no solids, and possibly no bottles/pacifiers). I got mine back at 9 months postpartum, so still breastfeeding but we started solids a few months before.

last month

I breastfeed and got my period 8 weeks postpartum. Everyone’s different it’s hard to say when you’ll get your period

last month

I exclusively breastfeed for 16 months and got my first period after 9 months but was bk to clockwork a yr in

last month

I breastfed one kid for 14mts got mine at 10mts and the other kid for 14mts and got it at 17mts...so who knows.. 🤷‍♀️

last month

It’s different for everyone

last month

I breastfed for 12 months and got mine back at 9 months i don't know if it was because o wasn't feeding as often (as he had started soilds and water) or just my hormones getting back to normal).

I’ve heard it depends since each women’s body is different. Some women do get it. I’ve been breastfeeding for three months and still no period
