My baby is just 3 months old and im still breastfeeding. People keep saying you cant conceive while feeding but im not so sure. How soon can it actually happen again? want to be careful.
Surprisingly soon, you can ovulate even before your first period returns, so dont assume you are safe. Doctors usually advise spacing of at least a year or two for your body to recover. Talk to your gynac about contraception after delivery.
Breastfeeding can delay periods but its not a reliable protection, i learnt that. Your body can surprise you. Better to discuss family planning with your doctor at the postnatal visit.
Fertility can return quite fast, sometimes within weeks. For your health, doctors recommend giving the body time between babies. Best to plan this properly with your gynac.
