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.
When did AF visit you after baby? Did you notice a dip in supply if you were BF'ing?

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!!!

Around 9 months (right when I dropped a pumping session during the work day).

I got mine back at 7 months pp! I was exclusively breastfeeding too! I'm still nursing 5-6x a day!

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.

I think mine came back around 5 months postpartum. A friend of mine only got to be AF-free for 6 weeks, despite EBF!

15 months. I thank baby wearing, cosleeping and exclusive breast feeding until 12 months.

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.

@ElisaT: Drink a TON of water. I noticed dips if I wasn't hydrated. LO's almost 13 months and so far so good.
I'm pregnant too, so I'm a little nervous about my supply!

@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. =\

@chopsuey119 - Thanks! I'll try to up my water intake and hope it helps. *cross my fingers*

I'm 8 weeks pp and hasn't returned yet... ugh I hope it doesn't come as early as 11 weeks! I'm really hoping that EBF, cosleeping and babywearing will make me last as long as @Mrs. Jacks: !!
