My little girl is nearly 21 weeks old and i've only had 1 period since she was born,which was at the end of April.Since she was a week old i've only been breastfeeding twice a day,and apparently the hormones in your body when breastfeeding can cause periods to stop for a while.I don't know how long it takes for them to start again,I think it varies for everyone.Hope this helps.
