When did everyone get their period?

My son is currently 8 months. I am also breastfeeding. I thought I was going to start my period sooner than this. I have been cramping a lot this month and thought it was a but it has stopped recently and still no period. When have you all gotten y’all’s period?

Funnily enough, I was a little concerned myself. My son was born on 08/02. I'm breastfeeding also but naturally cut down now he's having solids... My period just came back last week but only lasted 3 days 🤷🏾‍♀️.

But I would say if you're breastfeeding a lot still, there's nothing to worry about :)

My little girl was born 10th feb and I have had 2 periods x

I didn't get my first PP period til my son was 6 months. I had those littles cramps for about 2 weeks before I started it the first time! Freaked me out so bad that I took a test. If you are exclusively breastfeeding you have nothing to worry about! Some woman do not start their period again until they are all the way done breastfeeding

I got mine for the first time since giving birth just last week. So 8 months pp. I honestly thought it would be longer. Lots of women don't get it until their child is a year or a little older. I still am breastfeeding too.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
