Breast feeding and trying for #2

[brooke]

I'm still breastfeeding my daughter and have yet to get my period back. We want to get pregnant with #2 so I'd really like to get ovulating again. We already go more than 12 hours at night without breast feeding and about 4 hours during the day. Any thing else I can do to get going?? Any other bf moms trying again?

You don't say how old your child is. Just to share; I conceived when my first was 6 months and fully breastfeeding day and night. My periods came back about 6 months ago as soon as I stopped feeding at night.

If you've just stopped night feeds, you may expect your periods to return fairly quickly.

Good luck! IMO, the greatest gift you can give your first-born is a sibling (or 2 or 3!).

She's still just a little one, 4 months. It's been a while since I quit night feedings, so I'm hoping to get back on track soon. I always wished my brother was closer in age to me (he's 3 years younger) so I wanted to have babes close together.
