How many days to get your period back after labor?

Answer 1

This vary from woman to woman, and also if she is breastfeeding her child or not.

As long as the woman is properly breastfeeding her child, then in theory, the period will not come back because the body is not ready to have another baby yet.

Many women experience that their period comes back when they ween off the baby and it starts on solids.

This in turn because the body does no longer need its resources on making milk, and it prepares for another possible pregnancy again.

Having said this, to breastfeed your baby is not considered a safe method of "contraception".

Some women do get pregnant while breastfeeding their baby, but by nature, most women will not.

This may also be affected by the kind of diet and medication you take.
