Is it normal for a child’s period to be delayed while breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding women put almost all their energy into taking care of their babies, and gradually ignore other matters, especially their own physical health, which leads to some physical health problems. Among them, the symptom of delayed menstruation in children during breastfeeding is a relatively common problem. Let's take a look at whether it is normal for children to have delayed menstruation during breastfeeding?

It is normal to have menstrual disorders during breastfeeding, and there may also be symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort before menstruation. You can observe the menstrual situation again and do a morning urine test to rule out pregnancy if necessary. Pay attention to hygiene and diet during this period and avoid being too nervous. In addition, ovulation resumes at this time, so you need to pay attention to contraception.

Excluding the influence of hormone levels in the body after pregnancy and lactation, menstruation is generally not very regular. Some people have menstruation every month one or two months after giving birth, some people have no menstruation during the entire lactation period, some people have no menstruation after one or two months, some people have a heavier menstruation, and some people have a lighter menstruation.

Generally, menstruation will slowly return to normal within 3 months after delivery. The specific time depends on the individual's physical condition and recovery status. During lactation, due to the large demand for nutrients, the endometrium cannot proliferate normally, resulting in delayed menstruation or less menstrual blood. Don't worry too much.

In addition, some people will not resume normal menstruation until one year after giving birth, so as long as there are no obvious symptoms of discomfort now, it is normal and there is no need to worry too much.

If menstruation is delayed without sexual intercourse, it may be caused by endocrine disorders, overeating raw and cold food, or staying up late.

The baby's menstruation will be delayed during breastfeeding, but ovulation still occurs. You should take safe contraceptive measures during sexual life. If there is a delay, you can use an early pregnancy test to check whether you are pregnant. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene and sexual hygiene, strengthen nutrition, and eat more protein-rich and vitamin-rich foods to facilitate the secretion of milk.
