Question: how long did it take for your period to return after stopping breastfeeding?
Answer: It can take time for your hormones to get back to normal, especially if you're breastfeeding, Dr. White says. One menstrual cycle might be 24 days, the next one might be 28 days, and then another one could be 35 days. Your cycle should stabilize within a few months or after you've stopped breastfeeding.
