A member asked:

Breastfeeding & bottle feeding, possible to still get my period ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most around 6 weeks.: If breastfeeding, the time interval is indefinite for a period, and varies from person to person. The more one bottle feeds, the more likely menstruation will occur. Pregnancy can occur even if totally breast feeding and not menstruationg, so use birth control.
