Accepted Answer

in case you are a breastfeeding mom then you can experience irregular periods or amenorrhea till one year due to hormonal fluctuations.
take iron calcium and multivitamins supplements regularly and protein powder with milk twice a day

Accepted Answer

If you are breastfeeding your baby, your periods may not return for several months after childbirth. This is because the hormone that causes you to make milk, prolactin, also stops you from ovulating and having your period. If you are breastfeeding day and night, it can be up to a year before your period returns.

I m not feeding him my milk that much...because my milk production is not that good..Majority of the time he will be on formula feed...then why my periods are getting delayed..
