Part time nursing and menstrual cycle

Watergirl21 · July 2014

My lo is 15 months. I got my first period with her when she was 13 month, one about 30 days later. And I am now waiting for my third it's been 32 days. Lo goes to daycare ft and I nurse in the evenings, during the night first thing in the am and weekends. 2 weeks ago I was on vacation and she was teething so I nurses a lot more. I also had mastitis once as well. My question is- is it normal once your period returns for it to be irregular if your still nursing?

I don't think I am pregnant- dh and I attempted sex a few weeks back but we were interrupted by a waking baby and did not finished.

Yep, normal. When my periods started at 14 months pp, I immediately had two or three cycles that were 28 days each. Then, they slowly started to get shorter and shorter until my cycles were 20-22 days long. Thankfully, they started to lengthen out again and were back to 28 days before I ended up pregnant with my second.
