Frequent Periods

Asked for Female, 39 years

Can breastfeeding cause frequent periods? I am 3 months pp with my first baby. I had c-section and after 40 days had first period. From that time the routine is set for exactly two weeks gap. I have consulted two doctors both have said its normal. I just want to get another opinion as i have always heard that breastfeeding may stop periods for a little while. I wanna know what sort of hormonal changes BF is causing which is responsible for frequent periods.

Dear Patient,

Hello, breastfeeding causes periods to stop generally due to hormonal changes. That's why its called natural contraception period but since everybody is different. It's not a hard and fast rule. So, you don't need to worry. The cycle will return to normal soon.
