How to know ovulation while breastfeeding?

Generally speaking, a woman's menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, but everyone's cycle is slightly different. During the middle of the cycle, a woman's hormone levels change, which is called "ovulation." During ovulation, a woman's egg is released from the ovary and travels through the fallopian tube into the uterus, where it is ready to be combined with sperm. If fertilized at this time, a baby will be born.

Therefore, if you want to breastfeed, it is best to breastfeed near the ovulation period. This way, the baby can be fully nourished and born when the mother is ready.

In addition to the timing of feeding during lactation, there are some other methods that can help determine your ovulation period. For example, ovulation can be determined by measuring basal body temperature. Basal body temperature refers to the highest body temperature of the day when you wake up in the morning and do not perform any activities. You can know your ovulation period by recording your basal body temperature.

In addition, you can also determine your ovulation period by observing changes in your body. For example, you may feel your breasts become softer, your areolas darker, and you may feel more comfortable and relaxed. These changes may be caused by changes in hormonal levels around the time of ovulation.

Breastfeeding during lactation requires constant attention to changes in your body to better understand when is the best time to breastfeed. If you are not sure about your ovulation period, you can determine it by measuring your basal body temperature or observing your body changes.
