For my cousin and I, we DID NOT have menses till we stopped breastfeeding for one month.
my cousin breastfed her son fully for 1 full year so she doesn't have the 'red sea' flooding down her bottom till the 13th month AFTER BIRTH.
hmm... I guess different people have different body reactions...

huh...so if you breast feed till ur newborn is 2 year old...u still won't have menses? No menses mean can't plan for next baby?
yeah thats what i heard too. due to the hormones and such.Mine came back after I stopped b-feeding. From my understanding, as long as you are b-feeding, your menses will probably not come.
Hi all, just to share.....what i know from Doctor and the breastfeeding group of people is : Normally if u really FULLY breastfeed(not like only once a day or wat), menses will not come back till you start stopping to breastfeed..
If u do continue breastfeed your child untill about he/she is 2 yrs old, the menses might come back after about 2 yrs after giving birth even if u r still breastfeeding. As the child should be taking food stuffs so once the milk supply start to drop, your menses might come back.
Breastfeeding DOESN'T MEAN THAT U WON'T GET PREGNANT! U STILL CAN GET PREGNANT WHILE STILL BREASTFEEDING.
But normally FULL breastfeeding, u won't get pregnant. But if u really do, it is best to take more nutrition, if not, it is not good for the baby in your stomach. If not, there is not enough nutrition. Doctor might encourge u to stop breastfeeding. If u r weak, u might want to stop but if is a bonding too between u & your older child, u can still continue but take lots of nutrient as u, ur children need them!
I know this lady who breastfeed her older child till 7yrs or older now... but she got 2 younger children too.. i think she is been feature in some magazine b4...She breastfeed all 3 kids non stop....
Nowsday her oldest child although just drink only when she want some cuddling, comfort, thirst...but she allows it.. I really think she is wonderfully! She feed all her children with non-stop of milk.
FYI, when there is demand, there is supply.
So that why she can continue to feed them for so long and this prove that even u got no menses, still breastfeeding, u will still get pregnant. It is just your determination to able to breastfeed at the same time give birth to ur second child or even ur third one...
For myself , i breastfeed my girl till she is almost 2 1/2yrs old. I had menses pain every month when she is almost 2 yrs for about 4 months... although my menses is still not back...Doctor say the menses will normally return when the kid turn 2yrs old..if ur menses is still not back... of course all depends on individual... and my menses finally come back when she is slightly 2 yrs+ ...
oh my gosh, one day when i was outside with my mum near my mum's place, suddenly i feel something like flushing out from my vagina... i didn't thought that my period is back... i thought y got such feeling... cannot be that i can't control my urine.. after that i touched my jeans... i nearly fainted.. to my surprise, my fingers are all in red... i said to myself, pls ... not my menses ba.... but my heart tell me it must be.... ya u r right , my menses is finally back... my whole jeans is full of blood...
i quickly used my bag to cover and brought a packet of pads and rush to my mum's place.. like they said bloody.. yes... i dun dare to sit too, change every 1 hr or so.. using the longest 35cm pad.... sometimes still get stain... and it can last for 4 days and still have some staining up to about 2 weeks... like the above, when u put liner no stain...u dun put then stain ur panties.... really headache... n i start to have menses pain, which i do not normally have b4 pregnant...
Every month now is a fear, the menses just flushed out like nobody business on Day 1-4... It is so heavy that i couldn't stand it... u can really feel that it is coming out... but now my girl is almost 4 yrs... it is still plenty...
Although i save $$ for about 2yrs for not buying pads but ... haiz... i think for this past 2 yrs of hugh heavy menses, i would have used the quantity that i did not utilised during the 1st 2 yrs of breastfeeding... so i dun think i save any $$$ hahahhaha....

pardon my ignorance but I thought menses will usually come back after you give birth? Isn't that why we have to standby maternity pads?

oh the 'menses' we are referring to here is actually called lochia, meaning the blood flow after childbirth....and usually lasts for as long as a month. And for mummies who are breastfeeding full-time/intensively, their regular menstruation may not come until a while after they stopped breastfeeding.... Meaning we are referring to the regular menstrual flow after lochia.:tlaugh:
