Reasons for menses early return?
Last month when my period showed up exactly a month after delivery, you all
allayed my fears and told me this was no indication that my milk supply was not sufficient. My doctor agreed and based on my son's weight gain and the loads I've been pumping with my wonderful new Avent Isis I believe you all. My doctor led me to think, however, that as I nursed more and more it probably wouldn't return. However, today, 28 days later it's back again. Why do some women get their periods whilst nursing and some not? Thanks, lisa |

Night nursing seems to be a big factor - less frequent night nursing often triggers the return of menstruation - but I suspect that there's a strong genetic component to the return of menses in addition to frequency of nursing. -- tristyn www.tristyn.net "i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. i do not think that they will sing to me." |

Reasons for menses early return?
I vote for genetics as the main reason and I'll tell you why: I've had four
fully bf babies, and my periods returned in this order: 4 months; regular thereafter never got one, pregnant at 3.5. months first period, 3 months; second one, 7.5 months; regular thereafter first period, 5 months; regular thereafter The first two babies each had a spell or sleeping through the night so I agree night nursing helps. I was tandemming after the third one, thus my better results there. Number four was nursed constantly, day and night, no bottles, no pacifiers, no sleeping through, and still you see my results. My sister has had two bf, co-sleeping, constantly held and nursed babies, and got her periods back around 4 months as well. That's why I think there's a genetic component. We are also both extremely fertile. If there is a chance of getting pregnant, I get pregnant. I think that's related as well. Leslie |

I got my periods back when done nursing babies 2,3 and 4, but after my 1st
baby I was every 28 days regular as clockwork. No periods yet with Kamron. Andrea. "teapot" wrote in message m... (Zucca4) wrote in message ...
