With dd1, I got my period back at just under 4 months post-partum, despite exclusive nursing.

With ds2, it took...a year, I think?...to get my period back - exclusive nursing to 6 months, roughly, and nursed him to 27 months.

It seems to be all over the map for me.

really i think anything between 2 and 4 is ideal. that seems like a really natrual pace to me.

MIne are all natrually spaced and there is 3 1/2 and 2 1/2 years between them. I would be stressing at anything less that 2 1/2 but it still would probably be just fine in the end.
