In fact, many women report delayed or even absent periods while they are exclusively breastfeeding. This is due to the hormone prolactin, which is responsible for milk production and also suppresses ovulation. So, keep up the amazing work of breastfeeding and enjoy the added benefit of potentially less frequent periods!

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.
