A member asked:
Is it normal to have spotting while breastfeeding? and does this mean the imminent return of my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can occur: Irregularly, irregular spotting can occur with breastfeeding, however, it does not necessarily signal the imminent return of your period. Pregnancy can occur as well during nursing, so if you choose to avoid a pregnancy in the near future, it is best to use consistent contraception.
