When I had my first son, I got my period when he was 9 months old. I had not weaned at all, and he was not sleeping through the night. I guess my body just decided it was ready. As for impact to supply, it was a small decrease while I had my period, but once it was done, it went back up. As for losing weight, I can't say that I remember it making a difference at all : ( Hope that helps!

My baby is days away from his first birthday, but we EBFed for 5.5 months before adding solids (he still only gets breastmilk otherwise).

My OB told me my period would return at 3 months, which was weird because that's when I got it back the first time, and I was majorly supplementing with formula then. This time AF held off for 10 months postpartum. I've had two periods since before getting pregnant this time and should have a third this weekend. My supply does seem a little iffy for the first day or two, but then it seems to recover. As for weight loss, it didn't make a difference for me. My body is being very, very stubborn about losing weight, so I think I'm just stuck with it until we wean.

ETA that we're down to one feeding at bedtime, so I think I'm going to drop that feeding this weekend, due to the coincidence of his first birthday and the presumed arrival of my period.

I breastfed with my little girl and then got pregnant with no period when she was_8 months old. Now I'm nursing again. So I haven't had a period since Feb 2012. I love that. Also an I the only one who feels terrible when they sleep through the alarm to pump at night. It starts my day off bad: ( I shouldn't stress but that pump is so important. My baby its only a week so I am still so tired but it still make me mad.

My period came back at 11.5 months PP, and at that point my daughter was still BFing 5 times a day (7am-7pm). I didn't notice a supply issue with my period, but it did tank pretty hard when I got pregnant again when my daughter was almost 14 months old (we were down to twice a day at that point).

All of my babies were EBF, and only once did I wean before my period came back. Another time it came back around 6 months. Current little is 5 months right now, so fingers crossed that it stays away as long as possible!! She's my last baby, so my last chance to be period-free.

Why do you pump in the middle of the night? I've never pumped, but it never occurred to me that people would get up in the middle of the night to do it.

When I go back to work I work so many days and hours that I pretty much exclusively Breastpump. So I have to pump every 3-4 hours to build the supply then to keep it up. So my baby can be sleeping peacefully and I'm getting up lol. But its not really that bad. Saves on formula and its what I prefer. My kids are all excellent sleepers so it's nice I'm not getting up for both. Plus my husband can feed the pumped milk and I can sleep.

I did the same thing, although I wasn't working yet. I liked that my husband could feed our daughter and my mom LOVED feeding her. I pumped for about 3 months before switching to formula. A lot of people don't like pumping. It never bothered me. I'd curl up with my ipad in the middle of the night and be completely content!

I got AF back with all my kids at 5-6 weeks... My 3rd is 2.5mo, ebf and I've had AF 2x. This time my supply is a bit messed up due to tongue tie issues.

I'm taking domperdone (starting to wean), and my weight is crazy. I was within 2 lbs of my pp weight at 3 weeks, could fit into my jeans (size 14 mind you), started this pills and I have gained 7-8 lbs in a month or so. Baby is finally gaining weight though, small sacrifices for a healthy little one.
