The amount of nursing decreased when he started sleeping in his crib </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1694057 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:50:59 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1694057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, i night weaned when my LO was 6-7 months and didn't get my period back until i cut out day feedings around 12 months (i.e. nursed only morning and before bed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1694020 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:30:08 +0000 coopsmama 1694020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I got my period back at 3.5 months postpartum and DS was definitely still waking up several times in the night. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1694015 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:22:50 +0000 Zbug 1694015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: haha. 13 month sounds perfect to me. And then after the next LO, it can pretty much stay away forever :). I know I'm getting way ahead of myself here, but I was hoping to let her night wean on her own (we also cobed). She's only 8 months but I don't really see that happening anytime soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1694013 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:22:02 +0000 dolphin 1694013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got it back at 11 months and nursed once a night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1694001 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:19:51 +0000 Arden 1694001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We co-bed and I nurse Vi during the night and several times during the day and my period came back at 13 months. I wish it had stayed away longer... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1693997 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:17:38 +0000 Zbug 1693997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks again for all the input! There does seem to be a correlation btw night feedings and Aunt Flo for at least some people. Good to know in case we get to the point of ttc before LO stops nursing in the MOTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1693797 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 15:00:11 +0000 mdf106 1693797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Period came back at 9.5 months and LO had long been night weaned. He breastfeeds 5-6 times a day.

(granted, we just stopped our last session two days ago). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692934 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:34:35 +0000 Zbug 1692934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, ladies!! My LO is still nursing 6-7 times during the day and 2 (sometimes 3 ugh) at night. It seems like that's a lot for 8 months, but she isn't super into solids yet. Although she doesn't seem to nurse much less on days when she eats more so who knows. </p> <p>Sympathy to all those who got theirs back so early! Ideally. I will get mine back the month before we want to start trying :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692921 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:29:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 1692921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope...I got my period back 6 weeks postpartum, every 28 days :( I was nursing round the clock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692912 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:25:56 +0000 avivoca 1692912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my period at 6 months PP and DD was nursing 2-4 times overnight. I haven't had it since then. We are EBF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692907 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:23:38 +0000 Alivoo01 1692907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10.5 months PP and I started trying to night wean. Got AF back. When I tried previously, I spotted, so I'm guessing (for me), night weaning might have brought her on. We do occasionally still nurse MOTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692879 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:08:26 +0000 autumnlove 1692879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but my period came back early both times. 4 &amp; 3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692878 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:08:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1692878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got AF back at 5.5 months pp. DD was EBF but night weaned at 2.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692871 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:06:42 +0000 twodoghouse 1692871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Awesome thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692865 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:05:43 +0000 septca 1692865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Actually, I think it is.

I'm almost 6 weeks pp and I think I'm having my period! Super grouchy about this!</p> <p>@Zbug: I'm not positive but I think I'm having my first pp period. Still nursing every 2.5-3 hours at night and constantly during the day. I supplement with formula though so not EBF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692854 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:01:58 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1692854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup i got it back when i night weaned at 16 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692833 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:54:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 1692833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C hasn't been nursing MOTN for about a month and a half now and still no period. She is 10.5 months old and usually nurses 4 times a day. </p> <p>My sister didn't get her period back until she fully weaned when her son was 13 months. </p> <p>We don't plan to TTC until she is 2 so this suits me just fine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692832 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:54:26 +0000 cmomma17 1692832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was EBF'ing, including multiple sessions per night and got AF back at 6 months! :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692820 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:51:59 +0000 Pumuckl 1692820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was the shear amount of nursing sessions that brought my period back at 8/9m pp. We went from 5-6 sessions a day to 4 (he quit daytime sessions due to the introduction of solids). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692818 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:51:45 +0000 Adira 1692818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander was 9.5 months when I got my period back, but was NOT nursing at night anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-night-wean-to-get-your-period-back#post-1692810 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:50:34 +0000 septca 1692810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I got my period back at 7 weeks pp despite EBF. :bummed:</p> <p>I did have to *fully wean* to get my hormones in line and my cycle back to "normal," however. </p>
