Hi I gave birth to my first child on the 31/1/08. I began breastfeeding straight away and started taking the mini pill at about the 6 week mark. I have exclusively breastfed until starting her on solids at 6 months. She is now 9.5 months old and loves her solid food. I have now cut back to 3 breastfeeds a day in between her solid meal times. I have just started what appears to be a period the last 2 days after not having one at all since giving birth. Could this be purely because I am cutting back on the breastfeeds? I also wanted to know when I should go onto the "full" pill as apposed to the mini pill to avoid pregnancy, or will the full pill interfere with my still 3 breastfeeds a day? I am planning to wean her completely from me by 12 months of age so should I perservere with mini pill until I have done this and just expect periods to start up again? Thanks
