Is it normal that I haven't had my period since giving birth? Can breastfeeding stop my period?

Yes, it is common for women to not have their periods while breastfeeding, especially if they are exclusively breastfeeding. However, it is important to note that breastfeeding is not a foolproof method of contraception. If you do not plan on getting pregnant again soon, it is recommended to use another form of contraception, such as condoms or a progestin-only pill like Micronor, which can be taken while breastfeeding.
