After the delivery, female hormones starts lactation

for her kid. All hormones for the menstruation has

been converted to production of breast milk and so

periods will be stop till breast feeding is running.

In short, Periods will starts after delivery on

Lefting the feeding, nearly one and half to two

year...... Dr Ketan.

It is normal that she is not menstruating till she is lactating dont worry.

bcoz prolactin is a hormone which is in the blood which helps in lactation and

that in turn pauses the the menstruation for some months or till lactations

stops.

An intersting question.

 

As other drs have already pointed out, there is a strong connections

between lactation and delay of menstruation, as same dhatus drive both.

But who is the boss? brain. As long as mind is focussed in feeding and

developing baby-mother bond, this situation prevails. Moment father

intevenes, equation gets distrurbed.

 

Pituitary driven sex hormones, once their secretions increase due to

induced thoughts, environment, actions, etc, sex hormones take the

leading role and affection gets backseat. This reduces breast milk and

soon menstruation starts. Neighbourhood to and control of lactation by heart

chakra and neighbourhood to and control of sex organs to Muladhara chakrais is

also one reason. And subtle body gets maipulated by mind more often. (sorry this

is little bit away from academic ayurveda and closer to spiritual part)

 

How much feed baby will get, will thus partially depend on father too,

who does not feed the baby! It is desirable that he holds the baby more oftn to

his heart and keep mother out-of-sight. Awaken a mother hiding in your heart.

 

And on rare occasions, conception occurs without cycle appearing, a

spontaneously released egg from the ovary fertilises. When such

children are born, the nature clears the mystery; it is seen that such

children get born with ascendant, sun or moon in zodiac sign gemini,

aridra star. In a way, these children are twins to their elder sibling,

as both shared consecutive eggs!

 

These are accumulated experiences, and some teachings from older

generation, no scientific proof. Science and spiritualism rarely meet at a

point. Spiritualism foresees as a flash and science later explains.

I beg to differ..... Personal experience speaking here, I got my first periods

after delivery when my child was 70 days old and I was still very much feeding

my baby at that point in time....So, I guess this bit really differs from woman

to woman......There is no standard time frame as such. To reiterate this point,

one of my friends's who delivered her baby 2 days after I did, didnt get her

periods for the next 6 months after childbirth.......

Good that you are speaking from personal experience.

Author would add his own personal experience.

Two and half years of rich breast milk this author enjoyed.

And it seems mother's cycles started around that time. So two years

period recently mentioned by one of the other members is proven.

Author's younger sister is just 3 yesrs 6 months younger.

All nine siblings had plenty of breast milk, 2-2.5 years after birth.

Author enjoyed cow milk for another 8 and half years, trying to repay

the debt by working for cow preservation.

 

One bengalee friend of this author, whose eyes moisten even today by

memories of his mother's death few years back, had 3 years of mothers

milk and one year aunt's breast milk. This is our great india and

great mothers!

 

Lastly, few patients of this author told him that as soon as cycles started,

babies started taking less feed, perhaps milk tsste changed. When a nursing

mother visits, first question author has to answer after prescription is

'whether any of these medicines would affect the quantity or taste of the feed'.

I stopped feeding my first child at four months when I became

preganant with my second child - 34 years ago I do not remember if

menstruation occured before this. But certainly many other children

were fed with my milk before I left hospital (99% of births occur in

hospital here in Australia) since it was very proffuse!

>From ayurvedic point of view besides the points mentioned before

another factor affecting the resumption of periods after pregnancy is

the prakriti of the woman. Raja (menstrual blood)is considered to be a

mala (excretion - please do not take this literaly) of rakta dhatu

while stanya (breast milk) is an updhatu (like curd forms from milk).

When the process of conception takes place the roles of raja and

stanya are reversed and hence till stanya is produced raja is not

formed. However the formation of raja is dependant on pitta. Hence in

the event of excess pitta in the body, raja can be formed even when

stanya is present. In view of this women with pitta prakriti will tend

to resume menstrual cycle very early, while in women with kapha

prakriti this will be delayed. Infact even the point that in women

whose periods resume late, the quality and quantity of stanya is

bettet ponts to the fact that she is of kapha prakriti. Keeping true

to its form women with vata prakriti will tend to show variations in

the period of resumption. Even if its the same woman she might resume

periods early during her first delivery while at the time of second

delivery she might resume it late.

Besides this pre and post natal care of the woman as per ayurvedic

procedures also affect the duration.

Just to clear any misconception which might form because of my

earlier message, I wish to clarify the following:-

The sentence - "raja (menstrual blood) is a ..." should read - raja

is a mala of rakta dhatu while stanya is a updhatu of rasa. Further

as per ayurvedic view of digestion rakta dhatu is nourished by rasa.

So when there is no need of lactation a larger amount is available

for rakta dhatu and hence its mala is also adequately formed.

However on the onset of pregnancy due to fact that now more rasa

will be required for production of stanya, the nourishment provided

by rasa to rakta dhatu is lowered. This results in the non-formation

of raja till the period of pregnancy and till the time lactation is

going on. Hence the statement "When the process of conception takes

place the roles of raja and stanya are reversed and hence till

stanya is produced raja is not formed."
