If your baby isn't nursing every 3-4 hours your period will more than likely come back, as ovulation will start again if not on that schedule.
14 months and still no AF for me, however, no real sleep either.

We EBF but LO did not STTN until 13 months. I got my period once at 11 months pp but then nada until I day weaned around 13 months. (I should add I was on the minipill during this time.)
It seems like there is a big range!

My LO STTN from 2mos to 4mos, no AF. We hit the 4mos sleep regression and hit some road bumps for a few months and then sleep trained after she turned 7 mos. she has been STTN for 3 weeks now, and no AF, but I'm hopeful that she shows up soon! I am 8 mos PP.

My LO STTN at 4-5 months and I got my period back at 8 months. My friend recently got preg without her period coming back!!!

i'm not sure how much of a correlation there is between EBF and AF. i feel like there are a lot of people who had babies STTN at an early age but AF did not return for several months--so there is hope!

LO sstn from 2-4 months and I started to spot @ 4 months. I don't know yet if that was a period. That was 4 weeks ago today.

Not until C weaned. I always pumped in the middle of the night to keep up my milk supply regardless of if C STTN so that may have been why.

DD is 15 weeks and has been on and off STTN since she was really tiny (like, 2 weeks). No sign of AF.

I'm over 4 months PP and no AF yet. LO eats anywhere from every 2 -4 hours. Depends on the day.

I EBF and my LO was STTN 6+ hours by six weeks. I breastfed/pumped for her 5-7 times a day. AF didn't come back until 9 months pp.

My period came back about two months pp and I nursed like crazy. I think it's just different for everyone.

EBF and got AF back at 6mo. No idea why. She was STTN from 3-4.5 mo and then had a little regression that's almost over (only waking up at 5am or so to eat and then back to sleep). I did do an 11pm pump throughout the time she was STTN.
