Why don't we get menstrual cycle during the breastfeeding of the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast cancels pregn: After you deliver your baby and are breaqst feeding and the baby is suckling at your breast your hormone levels change in order to prevent you from having another infant immediately after. For one thing every time your infant sucks on your nipple your prolaqctin goes up. The changing hormone levels interrupt the menstrual cycle.
