Most lactating mothers will menstruate, but their ovulation and menstrual recovery are relatively slow. If you are not a lactating mother, the recovery time of postpartum menstruation will be faster than that of lactating mothers, about 6/ 10 weeks, while the recovery time of lactating mothers will generally be delayed, and some mothers may never come to menstruation during lactation.

Is irregular menstruation normal?

It is normal for lactating mothers to have irregular menstruation, which is caused by endocrine disorders during lactation. Most of them do not need treatment and will gradually recover over time. When breastfeeding stops completely, menstruation will return to normal.

How did menstruation come and stop?

Menstruation comes and goes during lactation, which may be due to Han's syndrome caused by long-term lactation, postpartum hemorrhage and infection. In addition, too much lactation hormone in the body will also inhibit ovulation and form amenorrhea, and if the mother has not ovulated menstruation before, she will also stop menstruation, but she will recover automatically as long as she is weaned. In addition, if the mother's sexual life is normal, we should also consider whether it is the menstrual stop caused by pregnancy.

Can I breastfeed during menstruation?

During lactation, you can breastfeed during menstruation, but the milk will be thicker than usual, with less fat and more protein. This milk is harmless to the baby and will not affect the baby's development. In order to avoid the change of milk concentration and composition, your mother can drink more boiled water and eat more fish, milk, poultry and vegetable soup during menstruation.
