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
