Will the quality of breast milk decrease after a woman has her period for more than 40 days postpartum?

Patient's question:

Sure, I can help with that. However, you haven't provided any content to translate. Please provide the text you want to be translated into English.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it won't be affected. The return of menstruation after childbirth varies from person to person. It can come as early as 6 to 8 weeks postpartum, or as late as one year or one and a half years. Moreover, after menstruation resumes, irregular cycles may occur due to hormonal adjustments in the body. Breastfeeding produces prolactin, which inhibits ovulation and also affects menstruation. Therefore, breastfeeding can delay the return of menstruation. On average, menstruation resumes 5 to 6 months after postpartum breastfeeding.
