Yes you can get your period if you are pumping milk and feeding from anything other than the breast. Ovulation can also precede your first period, especially if you are more than 6 months post partum.
the more you let your baby breastfeed, the more chances of milk coming out.
Putting your babies to the breast is the most important. The more time you give bottles the less milk you will produce. You can also try adding in a couple extra pumping sessions or pump for an extra couple of minutes right after they are done. Some people also have success with eating oatmeal and taking fenugreek.
You can start pumping your breastmilk as soon as it comes in. You can even pump right after returning home from the hospital with your baby. The more you pump your breasts, the more milk you will produce. If you know you will be going back to work after maternity leave, you can begin pumping and freezing your milk right away. This allows time to stock up so baby can drink breastmilk even while you are away.
it actually depends on how much you breast feed your baby. if you breast feed on a regular basis your milk will produce up to 5 years tops. so basicly the more you breast feed the more milk you produce
Breastfeeding is generally considered more beneficial for infants than pumping, as breast milk contains antibodies and nutrients that are important for a baby's development. However, pumping can still provide infants with the necessary nutrition if breastfeeding is not possible.
No. The only way to produce breast milk is to be pregnant, about 3-4 months into pregnancy or maybe more.
The absolute best way to increase milk production is through stimulation. The more your baby suckles, the more milk you will produce. If you cannot allow the baby to suckle often, you can increase breastmilk yourself by manual stimulation or by pumping the milk. Doing this on a regular basis will increase the flow of milk, so your baby will have plenty of milk when she is ready to come home.
Age has nothing to do with when a female produces breast milk, and the only time a female has milk in her breasts is after giving birth. The first breast secretion after delivering is not milk, but a substance called "Colostrum", which is thought to have more of the vital nutrients and immune boosters than the breast milk itself has. The breasts will produce the colostrum for about a day, then they will begin producing milk. They will continue to produce milk for as long as the mother nurses, but when she stops nursing, the breasts stop producing milk.

One can find information about pumping breast milk in books such as Your Baby and Child by Penelope Leach. There is also a lot of support online including the Mumsnet forum, and websites like Kidshealth.
Because they're losing protein from the milk they produce.
