Prolactin also prevents menstruation. Breast-feeding keeps these hormone levels high, so the longer you nurse, the more likely you will experience a light period, or no period at all. On the flip side, as you wean your baby off of breast milk, your periods will likely return relatively quickly.
In this regard, what does it mean when your period returns while breastfeeding?
When your period does return, it doesn’t mean you have to wean your baby. Breastfeeding while you have your period is perfectly safe. It’s not harmful to you or your child at all. Your breast milk is still healthy and nutritious for your baby.
Simply so, can I get my period while pumping?
Yes. Pretty much anything is normal when it comes to getting your period while breastfeeding! Once your period comes back, it could come regularly, or you could get one period and then nothing for months. Instead of a regular schedule, you may constantly miss periods while breastfeeding and get it somewhat randomly.
