I just posted a question about nursing/breasfeeding.

With my DD, My AF returned when she was about 9 mos.

I just started spotting this weekend and my son is almost 4 mos...old.

Also having some issues with providing enough milk for him while I work....not sure if the milk supply is effected by AF.

I've been breastfeeding for nearly 7 months now and have had no AF. I love it!

2 weeks after I completely weaned my son at 7 months.

I combination nursed and formula fed for about 5 months with my middle child....my af never returned after her becuase immediately upon ceasing nursing I got pregnant with my youngest.  I nursed/bottlefed him for about 3 or 4 months and my AF returned immediately after stopping.

I didn't get my AF until I weaned my son and he was 2 years old. Then I got pregnant with DD after 1st AF, she is 7 months and still breastfeeding. So I have only had one period since Jan 2004. Four years and one period....crazy huh!

My son is 15 mos and still no AF, I haven't had a period in over 2 years and loving it!! Since 2001 I have had less than a dozen periods: 3 full term pregnancies, 2 m/c's and over 40 mos of nursing. I am so not looking forward to her return! I have been spoiled.
