Periods not occurring
Hello Doc,
I am Kanchan Kandari, I have an infant who is around 6 months old now, I have stopped getting my periods since I had my baby. I am a breast feeding mother and I am also a mother to a 3 year old. The infant is wholly dependent on me, as I only breast feed her, but the older one also consumes my feed when she wants to go to sleep. My daughter was born on 29th May, I got my periods after her birth and that too for only 3-4 days, after that till now, I am waiting for them to start.I delivered both of my babies through c-section.
Please suggest some solutions for this problem.

Your problem is you r feeding a 3 year old child which is not advisable
Breastfeeding the older child has to come to an end
The six month old infant also needs to be initiated with solid foods rather than exclusive breastfeeding
It is okay not to get a periods while you are breastfeeding this is called lactational amenorrhea
Make sure you are not pregnant
