A. when you are breastfeeding your child.. your prolactin levels remain high for milk production.. and it reduces estrogen and progesterone resulting in amenorrhea and inability to conceive too. so it's all normal

A. Hello dear parent! Both are dependent on hormonal changes. Few mommies get their periods even while breastfeeding and few mommies don’t get even after an year after delivery. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day while breastfeeding your baby.
