@g_jio Yeah, same. I live in a country where many people use formula, so I’m aware that breastfeeding isn’t stopping those people from ovulating. But it’s nuts the range for breastfeeding mothers… I feel kind of bad for the moms who get it back immediately. Like I said, I had some issues with...

@stu42 I will keep that in mind!

@stu80 Even though you were nursing? That’s odd that she said that

@butterflyxx Best you can do if you don’t want your period is nurse on demand around the clock, I guess

@livingsword Nope, not on bc

@gero That is a quick hormonal turnaround! I hope weaning and the next pregnancy went well

@amingley Cool, good to know!

@paradoxum Wow, interesting! A lot of people I have spoken with weaned in three days, probably because they had already wound down a bit from a full supply. But you started bf after a bigger gap? How did that impact your supply? Did you have to relactate?

@tehilim Wow, interesting!

@elmadsahel If I wanted to have a second already, I’d imagine it would be stressful. I kind of miss ovulating because my sex drive is still way lower than pre-pregnancy. But other than that, it’s alright

@sh419ob My son is ten months. I never introduced one, mostly because I understand it can complicate breastfeeding and we were already having a tricky time. He’s never started sucking his thumb, and I’m glad I won’t have to deal with the power struggle of taking it away later.

@stubbsboy Yup, same!

@oneheart76 How old was your child when they weaned/were weaned?

@smsorenson Nope

@lostsoul2010 We are a diverse species! I think a wider spacing is in line with my ideas and capabilities as a parent, so I’m ok with it. It would suck (who knows, maybe it wouldn’t?) to force weaning to get ovulation back sooner…

@lostsoul2010 Yeah, we cosleep and nurse on demand so it makes sense… it’s strange that that message doesn’t always happen, though. The new moms with a one month old still have a tiny baby to take care of, and some get their period back that early. Humans are weird.

@marialavender Oh, that sounds rough. Your stress and anxiety totally make sense. If you're open to advice, this comes to mind: baby wearing. The skin-to-skin can help soothe her, and if you're open to trying keep trying with breastfeeding the body contact can (in some cases) boost milk...

@jasminejanderson Awesome! Glad you’re pregnant again and that it all worked out!

@jojo2 I wonder if it has any emotional root, thinking of two under two is a bit horrifying to me. Maybe body was aware and is holding off on ovulating until two kids actually seems fun.

@keke1223 Depends on your storage capacity, letdown, why baby is nursing (hunger vs comfort), etc. I don’t have a huge storage capacity, so my baby took both boobs for feeds when he was younger. Now that he’s 1.5, he’ll sit on one boob if he wants to relax and space out/fall asleep, but will...
