Cycle after baby: Your menstrual cycle usually will return to normal approximately 6 to 8 weeks after your delivery. This is dependent though on how you feed your baby. Breast feeding mothers may have months till they begin their menstruation whereas formula feeding is more commonly associated with return of cycles within the first 2 months postpartum.
