Q: Anyone Who Has Had a Baby

How long did you bleed afterwards? How long after you stopped bleeding did you get your period? If you breastfeed, did you even get a period? Do you supplement with formula once in awhile, or strictly breastfeeding?

After I had mackenzie I bled for 2 weeks and then it completely stopped. I think it was a month and a half later that I started my period.

I bled for about 2 weeks then it turned to discharge now I am bleeding again. I'm strictly breastfeeding I was thinking of supplementing but I changed my mind.

On average I bled about 3-4 wks. After my 1st I didn't get my period, because I got preg with my 2nd when he was only 4 mo old. After my 2nd it was about 2 wks after I stopped bleeding that I got my period. And I believe I got my period right after I stopped bleeding with my 3rd.

Yea, I bled for about 2 1/2 weeks, then it turned into a slightly pink discharge, then out of no where it got all really red again, and then it stopped.

I bled for about 4 1/2 weeks and then a week later I got my period. I got another period a few weeks ago and I breastfeed. After danica was 6 weeks, the doctor told me it was okay to supplement with formula since past that stage they won't get nipple confused.
Danica was about 7 1/2 weeks when I supplemented with bottles of breastmilk and a few bottles of formula. I still supplement sometimes too so its okay once they get their 6 week appt Smile
