Breastfeeding...: If you are breastfeeding you may have no period for a few months but don't be afraid,it should not cause any harm to you.It is perfectly normal in the first months of breastfeeding.If you definitely want to have your period then you might need to stop breastfeeding or significantly decrease the frequency.The benefits of lactation for you and your baby are definitely superior.
