When does a woman ovulate after having a baby if she's breastfeeding?

There is simply no way to predict how soon. Every woman is different. If you are breastfeeding without supplementing, that usually suppresses the menstrual cycle altogether. It usually comes back when the baby starts eating solid foods or goes longer between feedings. Usually. Not always.

∙ 16y agoSometimes ovulation is delayed during the time a woman is breastfeeding, but it is not a tried and true method of birth control. Also, periods may be irregular for a few months, so timing is difficult. Many women become pregnant within a few months of the birth of a baby for these reasons.

∙ 12y agoIt is possible to ovulate while breast feeding. It is not a perfect method of Birth Control. If you are nursing and are sexually active, a barrier method such as male or female condoms is the best if you are not looking to become pregnant right away. There is also a certain birth control pill that is safely used while nursing. Speak to your OB/GYN for details.

∙ 13y agoIf you are breast feeding, ovulation can be delayed until the baby starts solids or until you start supplementing formula - for 6 months or more.
If you are not breast feeding you can ovulate as early as 15 days after the birth.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on whether you're exclusively breastfeeding your baby or not. If not, the first ovulation can take place at around 6 weeks. If you are breastfeeding exclusively (ie, your baby takes only breast milk and nothing else, not even water or juice), then the first ovulation will not take place till your baby is starts taking other food, which is recommended at 6 months of age.

Is a woman most fertile after having a baby?
Yes. A woman is fertile pretty much every day of the month. Only 12% of all women ovulate on the same day every month so unless you check every month you don't know when you ovulate. The sperms also live inside for almost a week. A orgasm can also make you ovulate again.

How many days to get your period back after labor?
This vary from woman to woman, and also if she is breastfeeding her child or not. As long as the woman is properly breastfeeding her child, then in theory, the period will not come back because the body is not ready to have another baby yet. Many women experience that their period comes back when they ween off the baby and it starts on solids. This in turn because the body does no longer need its resources on making milk, and it prepares for another possible pregnancy again. Having said this, to breastfeed your baby is not considered a safe method of "contraception". Some women do get pregnant while breastfeeding their baby, but by nature, most women will not. This may also be affected by the kind of diet and medication you take.
