How to start your period after giving birth?

So after birth did anybody start pumping AND breastfeeding the baby directly to establish a strong supply? Wondering if I should pump and breastfeed to start a storage right after birth

Baby is gonna want to eat every 2 hrs and those sessions can be up to an hr so I wouldn't pump for storage until 2-3 weeks

I just want to avoid oversupply causing engorgement/mastitis as much as possible. But definitely want a strong supply!

How accurate is the flow app? I started using it the first time I got my period after giving birth. I’ve never used the app before. And when I started my period in August and September it got it right of when I was suppose to start. And now apparently I’m 1 day late. Oh dear lord please don’t let me be pregnant again. 😬

It's normal for them to take time to get back on track (Make sure you're not pregnant again though lol) id just ask your doctor about it at your next appointment. Just Watch for signs of thyroid changes... heart rate too high often, tremors, unexplained weight shifts, sudden chronic IBS-type symptoms, unexplained fatigue etc I was swung Into hyperthyroidism with graves disease following my first child and it took 2 years to get that diagnosed. My sister in law developed the same after her first child but not until she was around 5 years old. But due to the hormone shifts this can happen

Any pointers on how to get your stomach back down after giving birth (i had a light 6 pack) I still have 12 weeks to go just curious, somebody said just get a waist trainer but I’m assuming it’s more to do than that…

I waited 4 weeks. It seemed like my sex drive was over the top so I couldn't wait any longer than that lol. But at 6 weeks appointment got checked and everything was good. I am healed nicely. I just say take it slow and use lube if needed.

How many days after giving birth should I begin to pump my breast? I can't tell if I have colostrum or breast milk 🤔 #help #newmomma

You should start an hour later. Well sorry unless you gonna just put baby on you. You will know when your milk come in because of the color. Your colostrum is yellow yellow. Hope this helps.
