Has anyone conceived while breastfeeding? Did you have twins?!

One study found 12.4% of breastfeeding mums had twins, compared to just 1.1% in non-breastfeeding women.

Researchers link this to hormone shifts when your cycle returns
higher FSH levels and lower calcium during lactation.

Women who had breastfed longer before

How often do you hear "Is your baby still waking at night?!" - the answer is simple - yes, there's a biological reason!

Has somebody told you that your baby doesn’t need to breastfeed at night past a certain age? This age often varies by advisor. However, science tells us that in many cases, this simply isn’t true. Why? Babies and mothers are different and these differences affect baby’s need for night feedings...
