EBF and period returning

Dd2 will be 10 months next week and she's ebf. My period just came back. Will this affect my supply? Anything else I should know?

Re: EBF and period returning

Mine came back at 16 months pp, but I never noticed a dip. I just kept nursing like normal and my DS never complained.

I found the biggest thing that impacted supply was when he consistently started nursing less frequently.

Of course it's different for everyone-- I'd just be sure to stay hydrated.

I got mine back at 13 months and I don't think it affected my supply.

EBF and period returning

I got mine back early (I think 3 months). It didn't affect supply until 8 months PP. With mother's milk tea I was able to keep supply up and DD was BF until 21 months (she self weened).

Mine came back at 10 WEEKS and I had no drop in supply. I was pissed bEcause I was counting on having at least a year period free, but we ebf straight thru and never had to supplement a drop!

With my 3 kids, mine came back at 11 months, 9 months, and 10 months respectively. I never noticed any supply issues and none of them ever complained or seemed to have trouble getting milk. Like PennyCat said, make sure to stay hydrated particularly around that time each month.

I got mine back at 10 months also and I did notice a dip. I was still able to continue BFing though.

My period came back around 8/9 months and while my supply definitely dropped I don't know if was due directly to my period returning. I also returned to work about a month before that and my DD started to wean herself around that same time, so it could be that she started to wean because she wasn't getting as much due to the return of my period or that my supply decreased because of pumping, stress and increase in bottles. By 10 months she wouldn't nurse at all :(

Mine didn't come back until 13 or 14 months post partum and I did notice a slight drop in output for a few days but normal supply quickly returned when my period stopped. It helped that DS was getting most of his calories from solid food at that point too

Mine returned at 7 months both times and I definitely noticed a dip in supply the week before and during my period. It would go back to normal after my period was over.

Never didn't get my period. I got it back about (no joke) 5 weeks after having DS. Granted I wasn't EBF, but in those days every time he got a bottle, I pumped. My body is just super weird.... And I say that for many other reasons as well, lol.
