Hello, thank you for your enquiry.

Based on your description, we understand you have had 1 day of menstrual bleed after 6 months since your childbirth, on breastfeeding, not using any contraceptive pills. We will try to help you.

For your information, it is normal to have menstrual bleed during breastfeeding. All ladies are different, but in general, some ladies will have their period return as early as 6 to 8 weeks after childbirth without breastfeeding; those on breastfeeding will delay their period longer due to prolactin, hormone secreted during breastfeeding, however, some may have their period returned as early as 3 months without contraceptive pills.

Therefore, period may return anytime during breastfeeding, which is normal and safe, will not affect your child and the process of your breastfeeding. As for your period which last for only 1 day, is also normal because your body will take time to adapt and adjust to the re-secretion of the hormones. It will eventually normalize after your body’s hormones were balanced.

For more information, you may refer this mater to your doctor or contact us for an online consultation for further assistance as well.

Thank you, we hope our answer has been helpful.
