Most medical authorities strongly recommend that babies be exclusively breast fed for their first six months of life. After that it is further recommended that children continue to be breast fed as other foods are introduced for the next six months. This recommendation should be considered a baseline minimum. If you are able to nurse your child more than that you are giving more of the best stuff on earth (apologizes to Sanple). Also don't forget that you are doing good things for yourself the longer you breast feed. Most notably, you are burning up 500 calories a day while you breast feed without the work of exercising. Not only does this help you regain your prepregnancy weight, it also fights off Diabetes. This along with the help breastfeeding gives a mother in preventing breast cancer are all added incentives to nurse your child to good health.

When should you get you period after having a baby?

If your breast feeding, you may not get it back till you stop breastfeeding. I breast fed 2 of my children for about 2 years and mine came back when they were about 8 months when I started to feed the baby solids and they took less breast milk. However, if you are not breastfeeding I believe it is about 6 weeks.
