I am still breastfeeding and not supplementing. My baby is 8 months old. Would it be normal to start again and dose it depend on how much he is eating when I get it back?

All women are different. Some get their period back within 2-3 months, even with baby nursing often around the clock. Other women don’t get a period until baby is completely weaned, even if he’s only nursing a couple of times a day for the last few months.
The ‘average’ for getting a period back is 9 months, so you could get yours tomorrow, or not for a year or more.
Everyone is different.
I menstruated (regularly) the entire time I breast fed, and my friend didn’t start menstruating until about a year after she stopped breastfeeding!
You will start menstruating when you’re body decides that it’s time. You may even start and stop again!
My baby is also 8 months old. I think every woman is different. Just think of it as a little surprise from mother nature! There is many factors that make your question hard to pin point an answer (Like how often you are feeding, and are you pumping too) I have not got mine yet. And after my son it took me a good part of 2 months to get it back. And good for you for nursing for so long! You rock!
I exclusively breastfed my son until he was 14 months, and I got my period back when he was about a year. Once they start eating alot of solids and taking less from you that is usually about the time.
Everyone is different. Some have a period right away some after the baby starts sleeping all night and some not until they stop breastfeeding. My son is almost 7 months and I still don’t have my period either.
Every woman is different so there really is no normal. Some women don’t have another until they stop, some have one right away and everything in between. There’s really no way to tell for sure.
i breast fed for 8 months and i think i started menstruating just a couple weeks after i quit breast feeding.
I got my period back at 5 and a half months, nursing on demand and only offering solids until she was just over 6 months old. We don’t use birth control because we would love another one. I had the feeling I wasn’t ovulating, so I started temping. It’s been just the past two months that I’ve ovulated (when DD was 12 months and 13 months old), but my luteal phase is still too short to sustain a pregnancy, even if an egg is fertilized. What I’m trying to say is, even though your period may return, your fertility may still be months away. That’s my experience at least. I still nurse my DD on demand, but she is eating many solids.
I stopped nursing my son when he was at 6months; he is now 8 months, and I still have not had a cycle… although I’ve had that bloated and almost achy feeling for a week now… I’m wishing there was a little predictor that would just tell us when things like this will start again!
These answers really did help me! I stopped nursing my lttle boy at 6 months and I haven’t had a period since I found out I was pregnant. He is almost 7 months now.
I am still nursing my 15 month old, but only at night. He nurses about 3 times, before bed, 1 in the middle and in the early morning. I still haven’t had my period!! I’m not complaining!!
Just wonder when/ how he’ll ever get broke from it!
