Yes, the baby's return to BF may re-suppress the mother's menses. (Or she
could be pregnant.) With a child over 6 months old, and her menses have
returned even once, she could easily ovulate (and therefore conceive) before
menstruating again.  It's probably lovely for her to not have periods, but
she should not count on LAM as her only method of family planning. Go to
