Menstruation

[Pinky McKay]

hi macha years ago, with a group of La Leche League mums we had a "mine is bigger than yours" sort of rave about who had gone the longest before menstruating post birth -All of us were breastfeeding toddlers or older. I almost "won" -I varied with each baby from fourteen months at the earliest to 19 months which happened while I was tandem nursing.Hormonal levels  depend on the baby's sucking patterns.I had bubs who sucked through the night (not a problem though -after about 3 months they found their own tucker at night, without disturbing me).   Why not check it out on the La Leche League site or ask at ABA for actual research type info? Might be an interesting forum question!!! Drop it in on somewhere like www.essentialbaby.com.au - and see if anyone is ACTUALLY breastfeeding!!   Pinky
