15 weeks - right when DD started regularly sleeping through the night. I've read that can be one of the factors in AF returning i.e. when you stop breastfeeding during the night.]]> Thu, 06 Nov 2008 10:50:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22253&PID=537370&title=period-after-childbirth#537370 <![CDATA[Period after childbirth : I have had 2 since Alex was born...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22253&PID=537185&title=period-after-childbirth#537185 Author: Henna79
