It took me two months after giving birth to get my first normal period and my body reacted to it like I had the flu.

I was over visiting a neighbor and it just came over me that I was feeling nauseas, I walked into my apartment, barely handed the baby off to my hubby before losing my lunch! I spent the rest of the day in bed with my head in a bucket! My cycle started that night and my stomach settled down and all was fine after that.

what's the time frame when you breast feed? I've never really thought about it before... But I plan on breast feeding.

i breastfed from his birth till he was like 8 or 9 weeks old...Then I switched to formula ..Biggest mistake ever..Because breastfeeding was so easy...I never had to get up in the night and make a bottle ...It was very convenient(breastfeeding)..Lol ..But now im use to the whole bottle making thing ..But just going from breast to bottle is harder than I thought it would be!

Oh but my cousin breastfed her son till he was a year...My doc told me that jace would have to come off formula at a year..So I guess breast and formula are around the same time..But I doubt I would go that long ..Because when they get teeth it gets hard because they tend to bite...My cousin told me that hurts more than anything..So I decided to switch before teeth came into the picture.. :wink:
