I didn't till my daughter was 13 months and that's when she finally stopped exusively breastfeeding..

For me it has been true.

So, if you breastfeed, you won't get a period? Does that mean you can't get pregnant while you breastfeed?

I Breastfed My Son, & At 5 Days Old I Stopped Bleeding. So For Me It's True ! My Cousin Had Her Baby 8 Days After Me & She's Still Bleeding ; & She Didn't Breastfeed !

I didn't get mine for a little over a yr. It's true for some moms

Bahamamama4828

@sheilamae804...yes I have heard you don't get a period when you breastfeed but you can get pregnant, I know a few people who have.

I breastfed for 10months and had my period all the time it sucked!! But that was koz of the bc i was on

I went 22 months without mine, my kid had feeding issues so we breastfed until then. It is the best benefit of breastfeeding in my opinion, I never got it back until after weaning
