A member asked:

Period after 6 weeks&mostly breast feeding. with my previous two pregnancy less breastfeeding &period come when i stopped. why this time it come early?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many causes: The return of menses following delivery is extremely variable even if she is breast feeding. Even more so with premature deliveries. I would recommend using some form of birth control - even the morning after pill - for at least 3 months following delivery to allow the uterus to heal and be ready for the next pregnancy.
