Breastfeed impact on next pregnancy
I was breast feeding to my 3.1 years kid. As doctors advised breast feed will not cause ovulation and hence there won't be conception. I have concern like if there are no ovulation happens during breastfeed, then how monthly regular period is happening? Please advice on this.

Its not like that. Lactational amenorrhea doesn't work that way. First 6 months from conception remains a period of amenorrhea. But as long as menstruation starts, ovulation cycle also follows.
