Specializes in Gynecology

Lactation amenorrhea: If you are strictly breast feeding and not supplementing and haven't had a period yet, you're doing everything right. It's not a problem that you haven't had your period yet. It may come in te next six months if you start introducing other foods. You should use contraception.
