A member asked:
Should i be concerned that my period has not come back 16 months after baby and down to maybe 1 breastfeed every few days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : Some women do not have periods when they are breast feeding no matter what the frequency is. However, it will not hurt at all to get an appointment with your gyn for a check up. I am presuming you are using birth control.
