MP3•Episode home

In this week’s episode of Boob to Food the Podcast, Luka turns the tables and interviews Kate about a topic that almost every mum wonders about – when will my period come back after having a baby?

From the hormonal shifts after birth, to how breastfeeding and stress play a role, to why some mums get their period six weeks postpartum while others wait over two years – we’re breaking it all down. Kate shares what’s considered normal, what symptoms might be a sign of imbalance, and what you can do if you’re hoping to conceive again.

For those who are tuning in for the first time, a little about us…
