Must admit that method isn't for me even though am bf and haven't introduced a dummy etc as just not confident it would work for me. Have known a few people who have bf and still got pregnant. I know that no method is 100% (apart from not doing anything) but feel better using alternatives. That way i know we are taking all precautions and if i was to get pregnant whilst taking precauions then its fate

Hey, with Olivia mine only started after I'd stopped bf & I still haven't had one after having Jessica and I'm still bf her. Tis so crap! Having no periods is sooo nice!

advice please ladies.

I started having periods again when Sophie was 6 months they came back quite heavy but now are really sporadic. I breastfed till she was just over one and was on a pill called Cerazette. I stopped taking that pill in June and haven't really had a period since, is this common when you stop breastfeeding?
