How long was your LO sleeping at night? I read that for bf'ing to be effective BC you can't let them go more than 6 hours. I'm not planning on relying on this for bc, but I'd sure like to keep AF away for a while.
-
I got at 9 months pp pretty much after LO started STTN.
-
LO started STTN at 6 weeks but I didn't get AF until 6 months.
-
DS started STTN (11+ hours) at 12 weeks, a month later at 4.5 months pp first AF visit. Then 56 days later cycle #2, then 28 days later cycle #3.
YEA AF IS SO WONKY FOR ME.
-
AF came at 11.5 months pp. LO had been STTN off and on (mostly on) since 8 weeks.
-
LO used to sleep through the night (10 hours consistently every night for a couple of months) and I didn't get my period back during that time. Now we usually have one wake up about 8 hours after she goes down and still no period.
-
Our first daughter never slept through the night. It was 15 months for me.
-
I got AF at 10 months pp. LO STTN at just over 1 year, before that he was waking up at least every 3 hours.
-
DD STTN at 3-4 months and AF just came back when she was 11 months old. Pretty much right after I stopped pumping.
-
I just got AF today at 8 months pp and LO does not STTN...he generally goes 6-7 hours at night, but he's done this for several months. I still nurse 6-8x a day too.
-
Lo STTN at three months and AF showed up at 5.5.
-
LO STTN at 5-6 months, but AF didn't return until she was 14-months (3 months after I weaned!)
-
LO started STTN (12 hrs+) at 2.5 months, I didn't get AF back until she was 8.5 months old.

Hmmm very interesting!!! I can't decide to just say screw it to my alarm...
-
@sslm: alarm??
-
@aprk: I set an alarm for 6 hours from when she goes to sleep and I get up and feed her! Sometimes she's still fast asleep so I've been wondering how long she'd sleep if I didn't do that...
-
LO goes 9-10 hours without eating since she was super young (like 6-7 weeks old), and I got AF at 7.5 months pp.
-
@sslm: oh man, that's a commitment!
