It depends if a woman has begun ovulating yet or not. Breastfeeding most likely suppresses ovulation as long as a woman is breastfeeding pretty consistently around the clock, although some women's menstrual cycle may return even while breastfeeding anyway. Stress and separation from the child for prolonged periods of time (or even just a few hours in the day), especially at night, tend to cause ovulation. Breastfeeding's effect on the body by suppressing ovulation is nature's way of telling the mother that her body is occupied raising a child (or children) and is not physically ready to raise more. If the woman does not become pregnant upon ovulation while breastfeeding then a menstrual cycle will return. A woman can still breastfeed while menstruating although it might change the taste of the milk for the child.
