LO was EBF until 9.5 months and didn't really start to eat until well after 12 months. At 13 months he started getting 8 oz Splash/day in addition to all of his nursing sessions (it was intend to supplement solids at that point, not a breastfeeding). He did not STTN until 21 months. matador84 on "When did AF return if you are EBF?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-af-return-if-you-are-ebf#post-626610 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 10:18:23 +0000 matador84 626610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 6 months out and still no af and LO is EBF!

I guess its likely to return once the baby starts sleeping through the night and eating more solids and you stretch time between breastfeeding/pumping sessions. My LO was born 9 months ago. She started solids at 6 months and is on 3 large meals now. I have gone down to 2 pumping sessions at work (was 3-4) and she sometimes sleeps through the night. I still don't have a period yet!! Also, we aren't on any birth control but I have taken two tests and I'm not pregnant. I'm not complaining but almost starting to get worried! If you EBF, when did it return for you?
