I know exclusively breastfeeding can cause you to not have periods. But I was wondering does or can that still apply if your only partially breastfeeding. Say like 2 or 3 times a day and the rest formula feeding?

Its been three months and I have been only breastfeeding/pumping 2-3times a day for a while now.. Like since I have gone back to work a month and a half ago. ( I was still supplementing with formula before that too but breastfeeding less now)

I was just wondering if its possible that menstruation has not returned due to the breastfeeding in general even though its only alittle bit.

My sister said I should have started by now and thinks I should take a pregnancy test.. But I dont think I need to but Im not sure. My son will be 14 weeks old in 2 days!

Any input would be great thankyou!
