I'm really hoping that EBF, cosleeping and babywearing will make me last as long as @Mrs. Jacks: !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-128956 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:46:23 +0000 sulli301 128956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: ditto. exactly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126529 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:11:11 +0000 littleveesmommy 126529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119 - Thanks! I'll try to up my water intake and hope it helps. *cross my fingers* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126525 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:09:36 +0000 littleveesmommy 126525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@baby boy mom - did you do anything to boost during the dip? I'm already stressed about going back to work and having enough, so this dip is rather poorly timed. =\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126524 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:09:33 +0000 Rubies 126524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My period came back at 7.5 months PP. SIGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126523 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:09:24 +0000 chopsuey 126523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElisaT: Drink a TON of water. I noticed dips if I wasn't hydrated. LO's almost 13 months and so far so good.<br /> I'm pregnant too, so I'm a little nervous about my supply! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126519 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:07:15 +0000 littleveesmommy 126519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All you lucky mommas!!! I guess I'm ok with AF but I'm just really worried about my supply. I noticed my night and morning pumping session has a lower output these few days and my leave ends next week, so I'm stressed about having enough for her during the day when I need to pump. Any tips on combatting the dip? I'm upping my MMT intake and trying to pump to stimulate after nursing to see if that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126377 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:17:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 126377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months. I thank baby wearing, cosleeping and exclusive breast feeding until 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126370 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:12:55 +0000 Lozza 126370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think mine came back around 5 months postpartum. A friend of mine only got to be AF-free for 6 weeks, despite EBF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126367 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:11:44 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 126367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At almost 9 months and I'm so bummed about it. I was hoping to be one of the lucky ones that never got it back in between babies but no such luck. I do notice a slight dip in supply but it recovers within a couple of days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126359 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:07:00 +0000 chopsuey 126359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine back at 7 months pp! I was exclusively breastfeeding too! I'm still nursing 5-6x a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126276 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:01:57 +0000 purrpletulips 126276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 9 months (right when I dropped a pumping session during the work day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126236 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:14:54 +0000 mrs. wagon 126236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember if I had a dip in supply when AF was in town, but I went 6 months period-free!!! it was AWESOME!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-for-af-to-return#post-126231 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:12:43 +0000 littleveesmommy 126231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 11 weeks and my long lost "friend" came for her first visit already. Bummer! I'm EBF so I was hoping it would delay it until we weaned but no such luck. I also noticed a dip in a supply the last few days. </p> <p>When did AF visit you after baby? Did you notice a dip in supply if you were BF'ing? </p>
