A. Getting your period after a C-section delivery (or any delivery) typically does not negatively affect breastfeeding. The return of menstruation can vary for breastfeeding mothers, with some getting their period within a few months, while others may not menstruate until they reduce breastfeeding or stop entirely. This is because the hormone prolactin, which helps with milk production, suppresses ovulation and menstruation. However, once your period returns, some women may notice slight changes in breastfeeding, such as: Slight Dip in Milk Supply: Milk production might slightly decrease around the time of menstruation due to hormonal changes, particularly a drop in calcium levels. Baby's Reaction: Some babies may become fussier during breastfeeding because the taste of breast milk may change slightly during your period. These changes are generally mild and temporary. To maintain milk supply, ensure you're staying hydrated, getting proper nutrition, and continuing to nurse frequently. If you're concerned about any significant impact, consulting a lactation expert or your healthcare provider can help.
