He started sleeping (well, not crying to nurse when he does wake up) 7-7 about 2 weeks ago. I'm guessing this means I will probably be starting again soon, but I guess we shall see. I'm really enjoying this no bleeding deal.
I got my period back around 4 months PP. He started sleeping long stretches around that same time. He's never slept the whole entire night (12 hours) without getting up to eat
I put STTN and no period, but I just this week quit BFing altogether, and I imagine period will be back fairly soon. But I've been not pumping at night for a couple of months now and gradually weaning, and it still hasn't shown back up yet.
Got my period back around 3 mths and she's still not sttn. She use to wake up only once to eat but she's been getting up a lot lately, teething sucks !
Are we defining STTN as the text book definition of 5 plus hours? Or what length? DS lately will go eight hours and then eat, followed by two more hours of sleep. I still haven't gotten my pp period yet, but his sleeping stretches aren't consistent.
i'm not sure if i got my period back..i got about half a day of suspicious spotting right after i started solids (6mos) and my pumping output majorly dropped... but everything is back to normal since then. and no STTN.
Still BFing, LO is now sleeping for 9-10 hours stretches and no period.
During the week I pump right before I leave work at 11p so I only go ~7hrs before LO wakes up and eats (and is up for the day 8-} ). I think this is helping keeping my supply steady and my period away.
STTN (8pm - 6:30am) and I've had 2 PP periods and they are so out of whack. I used to be like clockwork and now I'm all over the place. Currently I'm going on day 9 of spotting. WTF.
STTN 8pm-6:30am w/ 1-2 wakups, no period yet. I am still BFing. I also have the Mirena, and have had some spotting here and there, but nothing warranting any feminine products.
About a month after DS started eating solids and sleeping longer stretches, af returned, however, it was oddly short and has only returned once in these past two months.
DD started sleeping though the night from about 8-6 around 7 months. I got my period back at around 5 months. So much for getting a break from my period. We were EBF and still got it.
