September EBF mummas, did you have your periods yet? Mine hasn't come back yet and gave birth on the 16th September.

I gave birth 18th of September. No period yet and took just over a year for me to have one with my first. Its completely normal for breastfeeding to delay periods coming back due to the hormones involved in milk production

After my last 2 pregnancies it was 6-9months until I got a period and for some people it can even be 15m or longer if still bf lots

Gave birth on the 4th September EBF and no period yet

First baby it came back around 3 months. My baby is 9 weeks now and not come back yet, praying it stays away longer than it did first time!

First baby came back at 5 weeks 😭 baby is 9 weeks and no period (although the odd spotting). Formula fed both but this time have the mirena coil.

I’m ebf and mine came back this week 🥲 I recently started back on the pill so not sure if that’s what caused it

My baby was born 12th sept, no period! Also EBF I’m hoping it stays away for a while as I’ve heard it’s painful with feeding!😅 xx

No period for me yet, baby born on the 28th September. I’m also EBF

Got my period this week. 9 weeks PP and Im breastfeeding and pumping

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!
