Periods & breastfeeding

I just started my period 5 months pp and have been exclusively breastfeeding. I’m worried that my milk will stop because my period is back. Has that happened to anyone? How is your breastfeeding journey after periods have started?

Hasn’t changed for me and in my second month of period

Hey dw your milk won’t stop. My period came back when I was about 10 weeks pp I’m now 5 months in and my milk is fine, I exclusively breastfeed too! After child birth your period can take a while to come bck cos of a hormone your body releases to help with your milk which that same hormone suppresses ovulation/ period hormones. But ofc every woman is different and periods will return at there own rate but it defo won’t effect your milk supply/production

What a relief, my breasts feel softer now so wasn’t sure if it was gradually stopping now my period has started!

Just coming to the end of my first period. Also BF. Supply dropped a little in the days leading up to it but it's back to normal now, I would just do what you did in the beginning and drink loads and eat enough to encourage it 👍🏻

I’m on my second month of my periods being back & my milk supply hasn’t changed! Xx

I’ve had 2 periods now my supply dropped abit but i’m still exclusively breastfeeding
