Breastfeeding and periods
Hello,
I am a 29 year old breastfeeding mother, not exclusively though. I'm 5 months post partum. I got my periods in September and did not in October. Can I take a medicine like primolut N to delay my periods as there is a very important function for the baby in November. Will it impact my baby?
Thanks in advance!

First of all you should rule out pregnancy as you have missed your period in October and yes you can get medicine to delay or postpone your menstruation. Though it doesn’t cause any harm to the baby but it may lead to heavy menstruation or irregular menstruation for certain period
