A member asked:
Im3months post papartum exclusively breast feeding. i read my period should came by the 8th week p.p should i be concerned?

No concerns: It varies for each woman, but some breastfeeding woman do not resume periods until 1 year. Most commonly periods resume at about 6-8 months post-partum in breastfeeding moms . Good for you to breastfeed! Best for the baby and you ,keep up the good work! However be careful with unprotected sex. You never know which is the month that you start ovulating and then resume menses two weeks later.
