Hi Belinda,
Be thankful!!!! Obviously your hormones are still out of whack, which is completely understandable. My periods didn't return for 6mths after my first but I wasn't as luck with my second and I got them when she was 6wks. The first time around I went straight back to clockwork but this time they're all over the place which is quite annoying.
If you're really concerned, speak to your GP or Ob/Gyn.
Best of luck,
Peta

My daughter is 3 months old and i have still yet to get my periods back and i have been bottlefeeding her since she was just over a week old.
At 6 weeks i had a gush of blood one day and that was it, i'm not sure if that was my period, but if it was, i should be due soon.
Your hormones are probably just out of wack. I mean, it's great not to have periods, but if you feel like me (bloated and horrible) i want them.
I don't think it's anything to worry about though.

HI mikbell
im bottle feeding my 7 week old daughter aswell. i started to get my periods 6 weeks after having her but i only bleed for 2 weeks after her. Your hormones could just be taking longer to come back to "normal" if your worried see your local doctor
