I’m right in same boat as well, maybe it is

I’m nearly 12 weeks pp and have only just started showing signs of a period, if you’re breastfeeding it can delay when your period comes, with my first I didn’t BF which resulted in my period coming back 2 weeks pp, I bf with my second and period started around 4-8 weeks pp but I didn’t ebf her x

Totally normal. Are you breastfeeding? That delays ovulation.

My period came back at 9 weeks postpartum after my first baby and I’m 9 weeks pp now with baby 2 but nothing yet and no cramps or signs.

No im not breastfeeding, but very reassuring it’s nothing to worry about! Thanks girls xx

I’m bottle feeding and I’ve just got mine at 11 weeks and I have to say this is an AWFUL period, I feel like I’m post partum all over again xx

I am yet to have a period and it has been 3 months since I gave birth.

Same here, I'm 10 weeks postpartum and no period. I have asked my GP at 8 week appointment and she told me that it's normal when you are breastfeeding and that I should not worry about

With my first I was still bleeding from birth at 8 weeks PP... (Bottle fed) Period was around 3m.
Second 2-3w period was around 6w. (Breastfed)
Third same.
Fourth same.
Fifth bleeding was still happening around 4-5w, no period yet, 8 weeks tomorrow.

Same here! 8 weeks PP and bottle feeding

It’s totally normal. Some women don’t get their cycle back until 12+ months!

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

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

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 🤣
