A member asked:
Currently exclusively breastfeeding my 9wo, yesterday i started bleeding, could this be a period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Most breastfeeding moms will not ovulate and those who do will not do so in the first two months. So it is probably not a period. Many women who breastfeed do have episodic spotting and bleeding, sometimes for several months.
