continuing BFing after AF

kneill01

I just got my period for the first time in almost 2 years.  I'm still BFing in the morning and night and would like to continue as we begin trying for the 2nd.  Once you get your period, does it continue monthly?  The reason I ask is because I was skipping morning session every other day in hopes of bringing my period one.  It worked, but now I'm wondering if I have to give up the morning feedings altogether or if now that I got my period, I can still do my morning and night feedings while ovulating.  Does that make sense?  Thanks for your input!

I'd keep BFing like normal.  I have gotten my period at 6 weeks pp with both my LO's and continue to BF like normal and I get it every month.

Ive gotten my period regularly since my babe was 3 months old. I primarly BF and havent had any problems at all. I do notice a very slight (about 2-3oz) dip in supply but thats all.

I should add that I notice bc I am back at work and pump for 10 hrs of the day. But she still nurses just fine before and after work with no problems

I got mine back a few months ago and we still nurse 5 - 6 times a day.  Keep on going!

With Lance I got my period 2 months PP and it was regular ever since and got pregnant the month I had my paragard removed. 

I wouldnt remove feedings, just keep doing what your doing.

I didn't have to change the amount of nursing to bring on a period since I got mine when DS was 5 months, but mine did continue to be regular ever since that first one.  I think that yours most likely would as well, especially if they were regular when you used to have them. 

If they don't return normally, it could just be because BFing in general can make them wacky, not necessarily because of that morning session.  I would add the morning session back in and see what happens; if it seems to affect it, you could eliminate it again if you need to.
